From: Lieut. L. E. (Larry) Blanchard, Jr., '±2.

Wakayama, Japan

Yes, I have had good intentions — how many, many times I have
sat down to start writing this letter. But I guess I have definitely
reached that state that one reaches out here — so aptly described by
many people as simply "going Asiatic" — and more and more I find
myself adopting that philosophy of "never do today what you can
put off until tomorrow." But seriously I have meant many times to
write — I used to think it was just so much bosh — all the sentimental
talk of servicemen missing the old school a great deal, but now I know
it isn't. We all think back a great deal about our experiences there
and most of all we appreciate the friendships we made. The one
thing that has kept life out here from getting too monotonous has been
running into so many Duke men. On my ship it has gotten to be a
standing joke about how many Duke men there must be out here for
literally it has been almost uncanny how many of them I have run into
— and almost always through some freak of luck. We ran into them
all the way from Pearl to Okinawa including John Hanford, Herb
Smith, Sid Gulledge, Mac MacQuirter, Julian Rand to mention only

0 few. Also Ran Few, Ted Tuke — and as for old Bob Gantt, he has
really been a joke — everywhere I went I ran into him before he finally
went back after his ship was hit. Also I have just narrowly missed
seeing (ships passing in the harbor, etc.) Walt Shackelford, Doc Camp-
bell and several others. Down in Manila through quite a coincidence

1 ran up with Ken Thomas, Don Mackey, and just missed Farrar
Babcock. While here in Japan I have seen Ned Goddard, Bill Gulley,
and Art Wilkie. Have just had dinner with Bill Peters over on his
nearby ship. Being a doctor on a destroyer tender he was telling me
of a lot of the fellows he had seen. It has been one fine reunion after
another and always the same parting greeting is "I'll see you back at
the next reunion."

As you may remember the last time Frances and I came by I was
on my way to put this thing in commission in Newport News. It is
an LSD — a ship that very few people have heard much about, a very
odd looking big "ugly duckling." There have certainly been many
headaches — but actually I suppose it has been pretty good duty — we
have certainly covered the ground but got out too late to see any real
action. We came up here with the initial task force to bring in land-
ing craft and take back liberated Dutch and Australian prisoners of
war captured at Singapore and Java — that was indeed an interesting
experience as you can well imagine — including running into a typhoon
on the way back to Okinawa. We are up here now doing repairs on
small craft.

I have enough points to get out but have got to have a relief
and am not too hopeful as to when I might get one. I'm afraid it may
still be months and you can well imagine I am getting very impatient.

Now that we have completed a notably successful fall
program of alumni activities, including Homecc >g and
the annual series of meetings held by the loc; associa-
tions, it is natural that the thoughts of Duke alumni
should turn with the beginning of the new year to the
making of plans for the spring and summer program.
The first peacetime Homecoming, on October 6, was the
largest of any such occasion observed for many years.
The series of meetings held by the local groups, although
not the largest in number, was one of the finest from the
standpoint of attendance and interest. Although the local
association program has been very successful, if we stop
with the holding of annual meetings, as worthwhile as
they have been, we will have failed to accomplish what
we should. Each local group should have a year-round
program and should begin now to make plans to hold at
least one meeting, more if possible, during the spring or
summer months. We have already received indications
that several groups are planning spring meetings. One
will be in the nature of an outdoor gathering. Others
will be social occasions of one kind or another. The type
of meeting is not important, but it is highly desirable that
each local association have a get-together of some kind
and in so doing give the alumni an opportunity for fel-
lowship with other alumni and a means of expressing
their interest and loyalty. Again may the writer suggest
that the parents of students now attending Duke Univer-
sity and prospective students be given an invitation to
attend these gatherings as well as the annual meetings.

It may seem a bit premature to be thinking of com-
mencement, but since it will be the first time in a number
of years that class reunions have been held, we are sure
the alumni will evidence an unusual interest in the occa-
sion. It is not too early for alumni to begin making
plans for their pai-ticipation, if this feature of the pro-
gram is to be as successful as you may desire. Officers
of the reunion classes should begin immediately to cor-
respond with each other. It is surprising how much in-
terest can be aroused by an exchange of letters. Do not
put off writing to your classmates. Time passes so quickly
that unless an effort to create an interest and plans are
made, it will be commencement time before one realizes
it. Class plans should be made well in advance.

Classes planning to have a reunion dinner during the
commencement period should write to the Alumni Office
at the earliest possible moment, preferably within the next
few weeks. This cooperation on the part of the classes
will aid the Alumni Office staff materially in making

necessary arrangements. There ave sail many difficulties
to overcome in the securing of food and service, as well
as the allocating of available dinner meeting places to
the various groups.

Several classes have taken up the matter of making
gifts of one kind or another to the University. Would it
not be an excellent thing if every reunion class made
such a gift this year at commencement? Such an an-
nouncement would encourage alumni giving and assure
continued additions to the University of many needed
things not provided by the usual University funds.

If your class has been contemplating a gift and is in
doubt as to what it would like to do along this line, the
Alumni Office will be glad to confer with a class repre-
sentative. There are a number of things needed which
would be appropriate for class gifts. We are sure there
will be no difficulty in finding something that will appeal
to your class.

In a recent conversation, an alumnus made the state-
ment that he was making provisions in his will for the
University and suggested that other alumni might be in-
terested in doing likewise. There has been a growing
tendency on the part of persons of moderate means to
make such provisions for educational institutions.

Think what it would mean if a considerable number of
alumni would make such provisions in their wills. It
would take care of many needs of the University for
which there are no funds. Although Duke has been pro-
vided for through magnificent gifts, there are many things
she needs that are not provided by the regular University
funds.

If members of the reunion classes or other alumni are
interested in making a bequest in their wills or gifts in
other ways, the Alumni Office will be glad to furnish in-
formation as to Duke's needs.

Although emphasis is being placed on the reunion
classes, every alumnus, whether a member of a reunion
class or not, will find a hearty welcome awaiting him. It
is sincerely hoped, therefore, that all alumni, and espe-
cially those who served in the armed forces, will make a
special effort to return for the commencement occasion.
Class reunions will be according to the Dix Plan, which
assures returning alumni that they will have an oppor-
tunity to see and visit with other alumni who attended the
University during the same period. They will also have an
opportunity to renew association with their classmates,
the faculty, and the administration.

Many famous visitors speak on campus; Famous artists take
part in concerts; Choir sings over national network in Easter
program; Glee clubs, orchestras, and ensembles give concerts;
Changes made in coaching staff; Athletic teams have successful
year.

Duke University, at the close of 1945
and the beginning of the first real peace-
time year in five years, is already begin-
ning the transition from training for war
to training for peace.

During the wartime-peacetime year of
1945 the University awarded a total of
752 degrees ranging from Bachelor of
Arts to Doctor of Philosophy and Medi-
cine. A majority of the degrees awarded
in 1945 were given to men and women
receiving training at the University for
service in the Army, Navy, or Army
Nurse Corps. A total of 280 Bachelor
of Arts degrees, 191 Bachelor of Science
degrees, 143 Doctor of Medicine degrees,
20 Doctor of Philosophy degrees, 4 Bach-
elor of Laws degrees, and 49 Master of
Arts degrees were awarded during the
year.

Nineteen forty-five brought the return
of Wallace Wade to the campus after he
had served for three years in the Army
as a lieutenant colonel. Although Coach
Wade did not take over immediately as
head coach of football, it was announced
during the year that he would resume his
duties in that position next season.

Many noted authors, lecturers, news-
papermen, singers, musicians, and dancers
appeared on the campus during 1945.
The Duke Chapel Choir of 150 voices was
heard in a special Easter broadcast over
a national network, and concerts of the
student glee clubs, orchestras, and dance
groups were held from time to time.

Duke Chapel was the scene of three
outstanding services commemorating the
most important happenings of the year —
V-E Day, V-J Day, and the death of
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Immediately after the end of the war
the University started its shift to a peace-
time basis and the November semester

Messiah and Pageant pack Chapel; Flu dampens social func-
tions; Nurses are guests at Y party; Hospital holds party for
children; Decorations mark campus; Special arrangements
made for students who remain on campus.

Capacity crowds attended the Duke were limited this year because of the

Chapel on successive Sundays to partic-
ipate in the two principal features on
the campus Christmas program this year.

J. Foster Barnes directed the Chapel
Choir" in the thirteenth annual presenta-
tion of Handel's Messiah before an over-
flow crowd in the Chapel on Sunday, De-
cember 9th. The 150-voice Chapel Choir,
seven featured soloists, and Mildred L.
Hendrix at the organ presented the choral
story of the life of Christ which is tradi-
tional with the celebration of the Christ-
mas season at Duke.

Dr. H. E. Spence's Christmas pageant
was the second feature to appear in the
Chapel. It was presented December 16
with Prof. A. T. West in charge of
dramatics, J. Foster Barnes in charge of
music, and Mildred L. Hendrix at the
organ. The narrator for the performance
was Dr. Frank S. Hickman, dean of the
Chapel.

The flurry of social functions that usu-
ally marks the Christmas season was cur-
tailed this year due to the mild epidemic
of flu that appeared on the campus be-
fore the holidays. The only campus-
wide social function of the season was
the Y.M.C.A. party sponsored by the
Freshman Y which was held December
21. The party was in the Ballroom of
the men's Union and was attended by
approximately 70 to 80 people. Refresh-
ments were served and carols were sung
at the informal get-together. Special
guests were the Cadet Nurses in training
at Duke Hospital.

A special Christmas party was held on
Howland ward of Duke Hospital under
the auspices of the Hospital Auxiliary.
Howland, which is the children's ward at
the hospital, was visited by Santa Claus
Christmas Day and was decorated with a
tree and other appropriate tokens of the
season. In addition every hall and ward
in the hospital was fitted with appropri-
ate decorations.

Although decorations on the campus

shortage of materials, the Union lobby
was decorated by the Y.M.C.A. with a
Christmas tree, boughs of pine, and
streamers of red and green paper.

Christmas vacations this year were
from December 22 to December 31 for the
men and from December 20 to January
3 for the women.

For the benefit of those students who
remained on the campus during the holi-
days, the Alumni Office, in cooperation
with the Y.M.C.A., kept the Christmas
tree in the lobby of the Union lighted,
placed candy and nuts on the tables in
the lobby, and maintained a cheery holi-
day fire in the open fireplace.

Forty-five candidates are eligible for
graduation at the February commence-
ment exercises to be held on the campus
the 25th of next month, it was announced
recently by Dr. Alan K. Manchester,
University marshal.

The graduation is a wartime measure
stemming from the training of Naval
R.O.T.C. and V-12 men under the emer-
gency training program still in effect at
Duke. Of the forty-five candidates for
degrees at the exercises forty are Navy
men. Thirty-three R.O.T.C. candidates
will be commissioned directly at the ex-
ercises as Ensigns in the Naval Reserve,
and seven will be graduated under the
V-12 training program which does not
include commissioning at graduation.

Thirteen men are candidates' for the
A.B. degree, twenty-seven men and two
women are candidates for the B.S. de-
gree, and three men are candidates for
the B.S.M.E. degree.

The commencement sermon, which will
be delivered at the regular Sunday serv-
ice of worship without any formal aca-
demic procession, will be delivered in the
Chapel at 11 :00 Sunday morning, Feb-
ruary 24th, by Dr. Wyatt A. Smart, Pro-
fessor of Biblical Theology at Emory
University. The commencement speaker
will be Congressman Graham A. Barden
(D., N. C). Mr. Barden will speak at
the graduation and commissioning exer-

cises in Page Auditorium at 11 :00 o'clock
Monday morning, February 25th.

Degrees will be awarded by Dr. Robert
L. Flowers, president of Duke; and can-
didates to be commissioned will be sworn
in by Capt. A. N. Kowalzyk, Jr., U.S.N.,
commanding officer of the Duke Navy
units.

Alumnus Teaches
Journalism in Cairo

Coy Wilton Wynn, former Divinity
School student in 1944-45, is teaching
journalism to students of many nation-
alities in an American University in Cairo.

In addition to his duties as journalism
instructor, Mr. Wynn is Cairo correspond-
ent for the Christian Century and the
Religious News Service. He was among
the journalists who covered the Cairo
street riots on November 2, when natives
of Cairo registered a violent protest
against Zionism.

The American University at Cairo
brings together a veritable "United
Nations" of students, with scores of dif-
ferent races and languages intermingling
on the campus. The official language is
English, and American college customs
and traditions are followed in classroom
and student activities.

A school newspaper is supervised by
Mr. Wynn. Half the paper is printed in
English, the other half in Arabic, thereby
giving practical experience both to stu-
dents who wish to enter the English
journalism field and to students who wish
to work in Arabic journalism.

While at Duke, Mr. Wynn was em-
ployed in the News Service and fre-
quently wrote for the Alumni Register.
Prior to coming to Duke, he attended
Louisiana State University, where he re-
ceived his M.A. degree in 1942.

George Ivey Publishes
Autobiography

George F. Ivey, '90, has recently pub-
lished a book Humor and Humanity, an
autobiography including many interest-
ing anecdotes in the life of the author
and his immediate family.

The book was published by the author
for the consumption of his family and
close friends and will not be released for
public sale. It is an informal compilation
of Mr. Ivey's writings over a period of
years and includes speeches made by him
at various Rotary Club meetings at Hick-
ory, his home.

Other books written by Mr. Ivey are:
Loom Fixing and Weaving, Carding and
Spinning, The Physical Properties of
Lumber, and The Ivey Family in the
United States.

B. F. Few Given Post
As Trustee for College

Benjamin F. Few, '15, vice-president
and director of the Liggett & Myers To-
bacco Company, Inc., has recently been
elected to membership on the Board of
Trustees of Robert College, Istanbul,
Turkey, it was announced by Rev. Henry
Sloane Coffin, president of the Board of
Trustees of the college.

A native of South Carolina, Mr. Few
took his undergraduate work at Trinity
College. He was graduated with the class
of 1915. He served as an officer in the
Army in World War I. He is a trustee
of Duke University and the nephew of
the late Dr. William Preston Few, Duke
president from 1910 until his death in
1940. Mr. Few became vice-president
and director of the Liggett & Myers Com-
pany in 1936. He resides in New York

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, January, 1946

RuUeU Witftinl, Noted ZdUofi,,
JlecUtA&i an "t-lee&am ol Ptete.

Russell Wiggins, managing editor of
the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch,
lectured at Duke December 17. The
noted newspaperman spoke on "Freedom
of the Press at Home and Abroad."

Following his early experience as a
young newspaperman in a small town,

Wiggins became an editorial writer for
the Pioneer Press and Dispatch of St.
Paul. In 1934 he went to Washington
as the correspondent of that newspaper
and made the reputation of being one of
the most brilliant newspapermen in the
capital.

Wiggins, who has rapidly acquired the
reputation of a keen political observer
and analyst in political and economic
affairs, is accredited with the suggestion
to Chester Davis of the possibility of the
utilization of the Soil Conservation Act
to prevent the complete collapse of the
agricultural program of President Roose-
velt. His suggestion was acted upon at
once. His role in making possible the
continuity of our agricultural policy has
been commented upon widely.

Just before the outbreak of World
War II, Wiggins was called back to St.
Paul to become managing editor of the
newspaper which he had represented for
a number of years in Washington. Dur-
ing the years immediately preceding the
entrance of the United States into World

War II, he was largely responsible for
carrying the banner of international co-
operation in an area which had been a
stronghold of isolationism. Almost sin-
glehandedly in this area he carried out
an editorial battle in support of a United
States policy of opposition to Nazism and
Japanese Imperialism. His fight was so
successful that Minnesota became a strong
supporter of a policy of international
cooperation.

Wiggins has served recently as a lieu-
tenant in the U. S. Army. He was in-
strumental in setting up a system of
intelligence reports in North Africa for
the whole Mediterranean area, which was
of vital importance to the American Air
Forces.

Following his discharge from the Armjr,
he resumed his position as managing ed-
itor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and
Dispatch.

ENGINEERING CURRICULA BEING

STUDIED FOR POSSIBLE

IMPROVEMENT

All three engineering- curricula — civil,
electrical, and mechanical — are being ex-
amined carefully by the entire engineering
faculty in an effort to keep them abreast
of recent trends. Although all three cur-
ricula have been approved consistently
by the Engineers' Council for Profes-
sional Development, the approved engi-
neering accrediting agency, the present
study is aimed at determining whether
any changes are necessary in order to
present the best possible post-war engi-
neering curricula to be found anywhere
in the country. Much thought is being
given to recent recommendations of the
Society for the Promotion of Engineering
Education along the lines of liberalizing
the engineering curricula by the insertion
of more social sciences and humanities.

SMOKER FOR NEW ENGINEERING
STUDENTS

Just prior to the Christmas vacation a
smoker for all new engineering students,
both freshmen and upperclass-transfers,
was sponsored by Delta Epsilon Sigma,
the Order of St. Pat, Pi Tau Sigma, and
the DukEngineer. The purpose of the
smoker was to acquaint the new men with
engineering extra-curricular activities and
with the Engineering Faculty.

Student leaders described their partic-
ular organizations, and explained how it
was possible to become affiliated with
them. Faculty members first were intro-
duced formally, and then near the con-
clusion of the smoker they were available
for answering questions and informal dis-
cussions.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, January, 1946

Johnny Long to Bring
Band to Campus

Johnny Long, Duke University alum-
nus of the class of 1935, has consented
to give up his intended vacation for him-
self and his famous swing band to appear
at the first birthday party of the Duke
Quadrangle Pictures since 1941, it was
announced by Robert B. Fearing, direc-
tor of the organization. He will come to
the campus through the joint efforts of
the theater and the Woman's Pan-Hellenic
Council.

Long, who began his career as a band
leader when he organized a campus band
at Duke in 1933, will have a vacation be-
tween engagements at the Hotel New
Yorker in New York and Frank Dailey's
Meadowbrook Club at Cedar Grove, N.
J. Instead of using this period to rest
as is the usual custom between such en-
gagements Long will bring his band to
the Duke campus to celebrate the eight-
eenth anniversary of Quadrangle Pictures
Friday and Saturday, February 8th and
9th.

In addition to the appearance of the
band on the birthday program there will
be a full-length feature and other movie
extras.

Long rose to fame with his famous
swing version of "There's a Shanty in the
Town," which repopularized the old hit
tune "Just a Shanty in Old Shanty
Town." He is the only popular band-
leader in the nation who plays the violin
with his left hand, and has been much
publicized for this unusual trait.

Long was a Sigma Nu at Duke and
during recent years his theme song has
been the song of his fraternity, "White
Star of Sigma Nu."

In former years the birthday party of
Quadrangle Pictures was an annual event,
but it was discontinued during the war
years due to the shortage of transporta-
tion and campus funds to promote a
"Name" band.

Alumni Meeting Is Held in
Wilmington
The annual meeting of the Alumni
Association of Wilmington was held in
the Fifth Avenue Methodist Church Fri-
day, January 4. The dinner meeting of

the association was presided over by Don
Hyatt, '32, retiring president of the asso-
ciation. Approximately 65 persons were
present at the banquet.

Mr. Hyatt introduced the guests of the
association who were present at the meet-
ing, and each alumnus in turn introduced
himself and gave his year of graduation
from Duke. Oldest representative at the
meeting was Rev. Edgar Fisher, pastor
of the Fifth Avenue Methodist Church,
who was graduated with the class of 1918.

Following a round of group singing in-
cluding "Dear Old Duke" and holiday
songs of the New Year, Miss Ruth E.
Patterson, '36, gave a report of a Duke
alumna, a Japanese girl who was grad-
uated from Duke in 1927 and had re-
turned to Japan as the wife of a Japa-
nese Lutheran minister and who is now
assisting American occupation troops in
her native country.

C. A. Dukes, Director of Public Rela-
tions and Alumni Affairs, was the speaker
for the evening. He reminded the
alumni that they need today as never
before to know their institution and to
support it through their continued inter-
est and backing.

A Reminder to Alumni

The Duke University Alumni Asso-
ciation is anxious to keep in close
touch with all alumni of the institu-
tion. Within the next few years of
transition the Association will lose eon-
tact with many because of changes of
address of the alumni. Each one
should make it his business to keep
the office informed.

A postcard or a short note is all
that is necessary to keep the office and
your classmates up-to-date as to your
location and your activities. Help us
keep the family together.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, January, 1946

jbuke Qaxfefoi Making tf-UteAt Record
OjfAntf, ^Jecumat^buJze In Many Ideate

Are undefeated in college competition; Leading Southern Con-
ference race; Defeat favored Tar Heels in thrilling overtime
contest; Bubber Seward strengthens team.

The Blue Devils of the basketball court
have continued to roll along with one of
the finest records enjoyed by a Duke cage
team in recent years.

Although losing games to a couple of
the country's better service teams, the
Dukes still remain one of the few bas-
ketball teams in the nation that is un-
defeated in college competition. Coach
Gerry Gerard's Blue Devils have swept
to twelve consecutive victories over col-
lege foes including Davidson, Virginia,
South Carolina, Maryland, North Caro-
lina, N. C. State, Wake Forest, Clemson,
and Georgia Tech.

At present they are leading the South-
ern Conference with ten wins and no
defeats.

The game at Annapolis, Md., on Jan-
uary 26 looms as one of the top games
of the season so far when Duke risks a
perfect record against another unbeaten
five, the powerful Naval Academy Mid-
dies.

Following the Navy game, Duke will
meet on its home court the team that is
regarded as the number one amateur
team in the country, both service and
collegiate — the soldiers from Wright
Field, Ohio.

The sudden rise to prominence which
the Blue Devils made this month began
two weeks ago when the Gerardmen
pulled the top upset of the year in this
state and defeated the White Phantoms
of North Carolina in an overtime thriller,
51-46. The Phantoms came into the game
unbeaten in college circles and had been
ranked among the nation's top ten teams
as a result of wins over two of the East's
top fives.

The Blue Devils returned after the
Christmas holidays with a record of two
losses to service opposition and two wins
against college teams, but they were not,
considered as strong contenders for con-
ference honors. But the new year found
a new shakeup in the starting lineup, one
that has paid off in wins.

John (Bubber) Seward, a veteran
cage star for Duke in 1942-43 and ex-

University athletic officials have an-
nounced that the last of the reserved
seat tickets have been sold for the Feb-
ruary 16th meeting of Duke and Caro-
lina basketball teams. The game will
mark the first time in the history of
the Indoor Stadium since its erection
in 1939 that a capacity crowd of 9,000
will be on hand for a college basketball
game.

prisoner of war in Germany, received a
discharge from the Army and returned
to school. He reported for basketball
and immediately was returned to his old
position as one of the starting forwards.

Buck Cheek, an All-State forward for
Durham High School last year, was pro-
moted from the Junior Varsity to the
Varsity and to the starting lineup all in
one move.

Seward and Cheek add a great deal of
speed to the team ; defensively they are
tops, and together they give the Blue

Devils one of the best sets of forwards
anywhere in the South.

The pivot position is held down by
rangy, six feet-three Ed Koffenberger,
the only returning starter from last year's
team. Although Koffenberger is high
scorer for the team, he is probably more
valuable to the Dukes because of his de-
fensive play.

Starting guards have been Dick Whit-
ing and Dick Gordon. Whiting received
All-State (Pennsylvania) and All- Amer-
ica mention last year at Muhlenberg from
which he transferred to Duke. Whiting
starred along with Seward and Koffen-
berger in Duke's win over Carolina.

Swimming and wrestling teams have
opened their seasons, and Coaches Jack
Persons and Harvey Potter were forced
to start from scratch in rebuilding their
squads. The wrestlers are defending
Southern Conference champions.

The swimmers opened the season by
dropping two meets to Cherry Point and
Navy, while the grapplers lost their
opener to Georgia Tech and then tied
Virginia in the second meet.

The remainder of the swimming sched-

Members of the Blue Devil basketball first team who have downed 12 college oppo-
nents in as many starts this year are : left to right, Buck Cheek and Bubber Seward,
forwards; Ed Koffenberger, center; and Dick Whiting and Dick Gordon, guards.

Letters

(Continued from Page 1)

From: Ens. Louis Allen, Jr., USNR,
'45.

Just in ease any of the other boys neg-
lected to write you, I thought I'd tell you
about the various reunions we had in
Pearl Harbor last week. It seemed that
every Duke graduate who had ever been
in the Pacific was there. NowT that the
Avar is over it is nice to be able to tell
you just what we all are doing, where
we are going, etc.

I am in a squadron of 22-ton destroy-
ers headed toward Japan. Don Buckley
and Dutch Schroeder are also in my
squadron. I ran into Don while sight-
seeing in Cristobal, Panama, and met
Dutch the first day wTe were in Pearl
Harbor.

The first liberty we had in Honolulu,
Don saw Wally McCown at the officers'
club. Wally is working at communica-
tions there on the island. Don also met
George Haines, who was on his way back
to the United States aboard his ship.

I looked up Wally, and he, Dutch and
I went over to the club one night. There
we met a fellow who had been at a Jap
language school, and when we asked if he
knew Bob Weaver and Frank Sedwick,
we were surprised to find out that Bob
and Frank were over at the Navy Yard
BOQ near where Wally lived. By the
way, Wally moved into a room that had
just been vacated by Woody Hoge.
AYally also told me that Jake Zimmerman
was on the USS Altair, a destroyer ten-
der which was moored to the same buoy
that my ship was. He said that Ken Sat-
urday was stationed at the Marine camp
near Honolulu.

A week ago Saturday night, Wally,
Bob, Jake, Buckley, and myself got to-
gether. We really filled the club with
Duke songs. After a while, who should

come walking up to our table but Lt.
(jg) "Horse" Bentley. "Horse" was on
a destroyer escort which was tied up at
the same nest as mine. While he was tell-
ing us some wild tales about his many ex-
periences at sea, Lt. (jg) Tim Moore came
along and joined us. Tim is stationed on
the island. So before it was over, seven
of us were there rehashing our days at
Duke and telling of our travels since we
left Duke.

In addition to all that, Buckley met
Nat Beaman one night. Nat was on his
way back to the States. Also, I happened
to run into Bob Carpenter who was on
his way back to the States with his LCI.

It seems that where there are people
at all, you will always find a Duke man.
Certainly makes it pleasant to be thou-
sands of miles from Duke, but to meet a
multitude of guys with whom you went
to school. I have no doubt but what I'll
meet just as many when we arrive in
Japan.

If the points drop sufficiently, I am
planning to be back at school next Sep-
tember to enter law school. I guess by
that time, all of the ■ crowd who had to
leave school before finishing will be back.
What a time that will be!

Guess that's about all I know for now.
I'll let you know how many Duke fellows
we see who are in Japan. We'll probably
form a Tokyo Chapter of the Duke
Alumni Association, if the gang at Pearl
Harbor gives any indication.

USNR, '46.

December 4, 1945

I saw an old clipping of the "Mix" the
other day. I don't know the date of the
Chronicle that it wTas taken from, but in it
was a scoop on old Joe DiMona. You
said that there is one kid that really gets
around, and you are certainly right. I
bumped into him myself out here in
Sasebo just yesterday afternoon. He is,
as you no doubt know, communicator on
the LST 949. We had chow last night
on his ship, and of course a grand chew-
the-fat session about Duke. He plans as
do I, to be enrolled for the September
term next year, and to finish up.

What do you hear these days from
Tom Knight? Last I heard from him,
he was taking life easy in Bremen-on-
the-Wesser, Germany, just occupying the
life out of that country.

DiMona's ship is just this minute shov-
ing off for Nagasaki. I can see her
through the port. I guess we are doomed
to sit here till the bottom drops out. Wish
I were going with him.

Every doctor in private practice was asked

—family physicians, surgeons, specialists. . .
doctors in every branch of medicine —

What cigarette do you smoke?"

According to a recent Nationwide survey:

More Doctors
Smoke Camels

THE

"T-ZONE" TEST

WILL

TELL YOU

The "T-Zone"— T for taste and T for
throat — is your own laboratory, your
proving ground, for any cigarette. For
only your taste and your throat can de-
cide which cigarette tastes best to you . . .
and how it affects your throat. On the
basis of the experience of many, many
millions of smokers, we believe Camels
will suit your "T-Zone" to a "T."

Not a guess, not just a trend . . . but an actual fact based on

the statements of doctors themselves to 3 nationally

known independent research organizations.

Yes, your doctor was asked . . . along with
thousands and thousands of other doctors
from Maine to California.

And they've named their choice— the brand
that more doctors named as their smoke is
Camel! Three nationally known independent
research organizations found this to be a fact.

Nothing unusual about it. Doctors smoke
for pleasure just like the rest of us. They ap-
preciate, just as you, a mildness that's cool
and easy on the throat. They too enjoy the
full, rich flavor of expertly blended costlier
tobaccos. Next time, try CarpeK

Helping you
sleep better

It may seem a bit un-
usual . . .

. . . that an electrical
manufacturing company serving
so many needs of a wide-awake,
workaday world should be in-
terested in helping you sleep. But
with General Electric it's a fact.
Air conditioning units that
make every night in the year "a
good night to sleep"— automatic
home heating systems — silent
fans— quieter street cars and buses
— heating pads— and feather-
weight electric blankets for zero
nights...

These are only a few of the
many aids to better sleep devel-
oped by General Electric engi-
neers and research scientists.
General Electric Company, Sche-
nectady, N. Y.

She likes to sleep "snug as a bug in a rug" on zero nights. Her husband is a ruggeder,
warmer-blooded sort. But a feather-weight G-E automatic blanket for each is perfect —
for these blankets can be adjusted to keep beds at any degree of warmth evenly all night
long, despite temperature changes. G-E automatic blankets are made according to the same
principle that keeps high-altitude flying suits "electrically warm" even at 60° F. below zero.

M _ *n

Taking the clatter out of 'Jie trolleys. Lucky
indeed are folks sleeping along the routes of
modern street cars and G-E powered electric
trolley coaches. For these hush-hush vehicles
barely whisper when they pass — even at full
speed. The electric trolley coach is quieter by
actual noise-meter test.

Taking the buzz out of fans means taking
the buzz out of the blades. For a lot of fan
noise, like airplane noise, comes from the
whirring blades. The result of G. E.'s de-
signing and testing innumerable fan blades
is the unique "Vortalex" type. You can
hardly hear it even if you listen carefully !

Taking street light out of bedrooms. This
new street light is the greatest advance in res-
idential street lighting in 40 years. Designed
by G-E lighting engineers, it projects light
away from the houses and to the street. It
provides more light on the street where it
belongs and less on your house front.

December 13, 1945

On 26 October 1944, I left Washington with the Office of Strategic
Services for service in London. I went in a civilian capacity to work
for the same man I had worked for in Washington. Although most
of the work that OSS did has been publicized, I am still not at lib-
erty to say exactly what I did. Really, however, all I personally did
was to chase f ootlockers all over the European continent ! After
spending approximately eight months in London, I was transferred to
Oslo, Norway, for 60 days temporary duty. I made it just in time
for the Quisling trial. Not understanding a word of Norwegian other
than "yes" and "no," the trial didn't mean too much to me, but it was
great fun being there. Norway is really a beautiful country with
mountains coming right down to the sea. Other than a few minor ex-
plosions here and there, Oslo was quite peaceful after the buzz bombs
and V-2s in London. On the first of October I went back to London
for about a month to help out in the office there and finally sailed for
home on the third of November on the Queen Mary. Frankly, there's
nothing quite like the first view you get of the New York coast line
after having been gone for approximately thirteen months. We landed
in New York on the ninth of November after quite a nice crossing.

At present I'm on leave from the OSS, but I'll return to Wash-
ington on the 7th of January to continue with them. My address there
will be 4325 N. Pershing Drive, Arlington, Virginia.

The last of October I left the 90th Division for the 4th Armored.
I was stationed at Prien arn Chiemsee in Southern Banavia, near
Salzburg, for November and December. The country is beautiful down
there ; we were on this nice lake at the foothills of the Alps. I was
back there this past week-end and the skiing is wonderful. Then I had
an assignment in Regensburg until transferring here. I'm now in the
Security detachment of the International Military Tribunal. I am in
an escort guard section that guards the courtroom and the war crim-
inals during the trial. After so much of this it isn't even a thrill any-
more to watch Goring, Hess and the others squirm.

Scut-ice

From time to time alumni are asked to make contribu-
tions to the General Alumni Fund, which supports The
Alumni Register and the activities of the Alumni Office.
If you have not already made a contribution in the past
twelve months, we hope you will do so as soon as possible.
Although the number of contributors is rapidly increas-
ing, if all the activities of the Alumni Office are to be
maintained we must have many more.

The alumni, we feel sure, will be interested in knowing
that their dollars make possible the following activities :

Publications and Mailings:

The Alumni Register. To every alumnus who con-
tributes to the General Alumni Fund. To new alumni,
at no charge, for the first twelve months.

The Alumni News Letter. A quarterly newscope on
alumni activities to alumni who do not receive the
Register.

Entertainment:

Annual entertainment of the graduating class of the
Woman's College.

Commencement luncheons for the alumni and alumnae.

The above, of course, does not tell the complete story.
There are many services that cannot be included in a list
of this kind. They are, however, very important to the
maintaining of a complete day-to-day alumni program,
and they make up a good part of the everyday work of
the office.

Sometimes requests for information are received that
require hours of research in the records on the part of
some member of the Alumni Office staff to secure the nec-
essary information. Of course, these services are al-
ways rendered cheerfully, as the staff is always glad to
cooperate.

There are many conferences with alumni about things
of interest to the University, the alumni, or both.

The alumni, we feel sure, if they could spend a day in
the Alumni Office, would be very much interested in the
various types of services rendered and the activities that
take place in an ordinary office day.

This is how your dollars are spent.

We are constantly seeking ways in which we can con-
tinue to expand the program of alumni activities. You
can have a definite part in this expansion by making sug-
gestions for the improvement of the services of the Alumni
Office.

Approximately 1,500 Ministers and Laymen attend; Number
internationally prominent speakers heard; Distinguished group
passes resolution urging United States to share food.

The first convocation ever to be held by
the Divinity School of Duke University
took place on the campus February 11-
13, with an estimated fifteen hundred min-
isters and laymen, and a number of the
nation's prominent religious leaders,
statesmen, and publishers in attendance.
The three-day session, presided over by
the dean of the Divinity School, Dr. B.
Harvie Branscomb, was one of the out-
standing occasions on Duke's calendar of
events in recent years.

In speaking of the purpose of the con-
vocation and the apparent good resulting
from it, Dr. Branscomb said :

"The Divinity School has a double pur-
pose— to train young men for the ministry
of the Church, and to serve as an educa-
tional center for the ministry in the field.
The convocation was planned as one of the
important means of carrying out the lat-
ter purpose. We hope to make it an an-
nual event.

"Standing as we are, between two eras
divided by a global war, this convocation
endeavored to stress the basic, unchang-
ing character of the Christian gospel and
to attempt to see some of its implications
for the changed and changing conditions
of our own day. One implication all
thinking men agree upon, that Protestant-
ism can no longer afford a waste and
weakness of a critical and competitive de-
nominationalism ; and the convocation was
planned for and composed of ministers
of all churches."

Promptly at ten o'clock on the morn-
ing of February 11, the convocation was
opened with the singing of the doxology.
Dr. Robert L. Flowers, president of Duke
University, gave a short address of
welcome, expressing appreciation for the
work done by the institution's Divinity
School, and his hearty approval of the
purpose of the convocation.

Speakers who were heard on the full
three-day schedule in addresses and serv-
ices of worship included Dr. Henry
Sloane Coffin, president-emeritus of
Union Theological Seminary of New

York, who delivered a series of three lec-
tures on the subject "God's Word for To-
day," used as the theme of the entire
convocation program; the Reverend Har-
old Cooke Phillips, author, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Cleveland, Ohio ;
the Reverend Hazen Graf Werner, au-
thor, member of the faculty of Drew
Theological Seminary, who conducted
forums on "Pastoral Counseling" ; Pro-
fessor Reinhold Niebuhr, professor of
Ajiplied Christianity in Union Theolog-
ical Seminary, who spoke on "Protestant-
ism and the Future of America" ; Mr.
Henry R. Luce, editor and publisher of
Time, Life, and Fortune magazines, mem-
ber of the Board of Trustees of Union
Theological Seminary ; Bishop G. Brom-
ley Oxnam, author, Bishop of the Meth-
odist Church; and Senator James W.
Fulbright, layman of the Disciples of
Christ Church.

Growing out of the last meeting of the
convocation as one of highlights of the
entire session was a resolution drawn and
passed by the entire assembly endorsing
a full program of food rationing in the
United States. Wholeheartedly endors-
ing President Truman's recently proposed
program to share food supplies with the
needy of other nations, the resolution
read :

"That this convocation of approxi-
mately fifteen hundred clergymen of
many Christian churches here assembled
transmit to the President of the United
States its hearty endorsement of his pro-
posal that the people of this country as-
sume a full program of food rationing to
the extent which may be necessary to
supply food to the people of the world
brotherhood of nations."

"We must beware of seeularistic
trends," Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin said in
his opening lecture Monday. "The word
of God is contained in the Scriptures.
Revelation is given in the mighty acts of
history. We must go back to historical
events and correlate them with our cur-
rent situation."

Dr. Coffin was heard in the second of
his lectures on Tuesday morning, on the
subject "God and History." In his con-
cluding lecture, the famous exponent of
religious unity dealt with the subject,
"The Mood and Task of the Church."
Tracing a parallel between the mood now
overtaking the country and the mood
which prevailed after the first World
War, Dr. Coffin stated that the Lord is a
Lord of history, that the new splendor of
Soviet Russia could be compared to the
rise of the Persians under Cyrus in Bib-
lical times.

Special noon-day services of worship
were held in the Duke University Chapel,
led by the Reverend Harold Cooke Phil-
lips. Reverend Mr. Phillips was assisted
on Monday by Dr. Frank S. Hickman,
dean of the Chapel, and on Tuesday by
Professor James T. Cleland, member of
the Duke Divinity School faculty and
preacher to the University.

"If Christianity is to be a force in the
world, it must become more of a force in
your life and my life," Dr. Phillips told
the large congregation. "The need for
personal contact in religious teachings is
even more today than in Christ's time,
because of the varied outside stimulants
that influence youth away from the teach-
ings of Christianity."

The second sermon delivered by Dr.
Phillips was on the subject "Privilege :
< A Wall or a Bridge?" in which he stressed
the Biblical story of the Publican and the
Pharisee. Dr. Phillips maintained that
we in the United States are too prone to
use the privileges which we undoubtedly
possess in great measure as a wall against
the less privileged members of the world
community rather than a bridge to them.
He maintained that the recent war was
fought, aside from its economic aspects,
because the moral, social and ethical ideals
held by the totalitarian states differed so
greatly from those held by the democratic
states. He said that racialism and na-
tionalism are the two great barriers to
world communion, and must be eradicated.

A special feature of the convocation
was the afternoon session given over to
"Pastoral Counseling," led by the Rever-
end Hazen Graf Werner.

The Reverend Mr. Werner was intro-
duced by Reverend Dwight Chalmers,

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, February, 1946

[ Page 29 ]

pastor of the Trinity Avenue Pres-
byterian Church of Durham, president
of the Durham Ministerial Association.
Speaking on the subject, "The Preacher
and the People in Trouble," Reverend
Mr. Werner stressed the fact that the
home has been placed under a condition
of considerable strain during the recent
war and that members of a congregation
will increasingly seek aid and counsel
from the pastor in the coming postwar
years. He asked for the exercising of
common sense in dealing with personal
problems. Without it, he advised, the
preacher should direct the one in trouble
to a more competent adviser rather than
ill advise him.

On the second afternoon of counseling,
the Reverend Mr. Werner was introduced
by the Reverend J. G. Wilkinson, presi-
dent of the Duke Divinity School Alumni
Association. The speaker declared to his
listeners that one of the prime factors
in good counseling was the minister's con-
trol of his own emotions in dealing with
the problems of his clients. Sympathy,
he said, must be screened and confidence
must be instilled.

Professor Reinhold Xiebuhr was heard
in an address on the opening night of the
convocation, on the subject, "The Achieve-
ments and Future Responsibility of Prot-
estantism in American Culture." Intro-
duced by Bishop Clare Purcell, Bishop
of the Methodist Church, the noted lib-
eral of the Protestant Church outlined
the concepts of American Protestantism.

The principal speaker on the program
of Tuesday, February 12, was Henry R.
Luce. Appearing before a more than
capacity house, he was introduced by the
Honorable R. Gregg Cherry, Governor of
North Carolina. He spoke on the subject
"Ethical Problems Confronting America."

Mr. Luce said that America as the hope
of the world had an unsteady faith in
herself, and was hamstrung by a bad, or
at best, indifferent morale. He said that
if such an interpretation was in agree-
ment with the truth, then the ethical prob-
lems facing our country may be regarded
not as a miscellaneous variety of prob-
lems, but as one problem.

"The problem is to relate faith to mor-
als," declared the prominent layman of
the Presbyterian Church, "to join to-
gether again that which man has put
asunder, faith and morals, morals and
faith."

Considering the direct relevance of the
doctrine of the Sovereignty of God to
our international relations, Mr. Luce took
up the meaning of the word "sover-
eignty," and the matter of world peace,

giving examples of the Church at work in
human destiny. He said that, in his
opinion, the future of the UNO is largely
owing to the instinctive conscience of the
Church, both in its Catholic and Prot-
estant aspects.

Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam was the
speaker on Tuesday night at Page Audi-
torium. He was introduced by The Right
Reverend Thomas Wright, Bishop of the
Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Carolina.
His subject was "A United Church Faces
a Changing America."

Bishop Oxnam said that the United
States faces certain choices in the inter-
national field, either a new and selfish im-
perialism or a sensible internationalism.
He said that the question now isn't that
of one world, but one family of God.

"Is our Church sufficiently united to
accomplish the task ahead of it?" he
asked. "We have the objective, we have
the mass, but we seem to be lacking in
the principle of impulsion. The road to
unity is the road to cooperation."

The concluding session of the convoca-
tion on Wednesday morning was presided
over by the Reverend E. L. Hillman, pres-
ident of the North Carolina Council of
Churches. The principal speaker of the

Prize Is Offered for
Best Original Song

A cash prize of one hundred dollars has
been offered by Phi Kappa Delta, wom-
en's senior honorary organization at the
Woman's College of Duke University, for
the best Duke song, it was announced by
the organization's president, Miss Vir-
ginia Suiter of Weldon, at a general as-
sembly on East Campus this month.

The purpose of the offer is to stimulate
Duke's spirit and to increase her songs.

Competition is open to everyone con-
nected with Duke University, to the stu-
dents of all schools and colleges, and to all
alumni, faculty, and staff members. Al-
though Duke spirit is the main theme, the
contest is not limited to pep songs. The
quality of both the lyrics and the music
will determine the selection.

The prize-winning song, the best of all
others submitted, and other school favor-
ites, will be published this year in a book
of Duke song's.

Collaboration is permitted, but words
and music must be original. All manu-
scripts should be legible; the words,
printed. The name and address of the
contestant should be on the back of each

morning, following the final lecture by
Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, was the Sen-
ator from Arkansas, James W. Fulbright,
who was introduced by former Congress-
man William Umstead of Durham. The
subject used for the morning address was
"The Role of the United States in the
International Order."

"We should make known to the world
our plan," he said. "We have two
choices : armed might and imperialism on
the one hand, or rules of law enforceable
by the United Nations on the other."

"Without realizing it," said the Sen-
ator, "and without desiring it, the United
States finds itself the most powerful na-
tion in the world . . . imposing respon-
sibilities which we are poorly equipped
to discharge . . . we simply are not sea-
soned and matured in the understanding
of and the exercise of world power. By
this I do not imply that we cannot meet
these responsibilities . . . we can, if we
but recognize and face up to that respon-
sibility."

The Duke Divinity School convocation
came to a close at noon, Wednesday, with
the second address by Bishop Oxnam, on
the subject "The Church and the Inter-
national Order."

Free Press seen as shield in preventing another big war; Gov-
ernor Cherry announces awards; McLean warns against gov-
ernment dissemination of news; Many newspapermen attend
meeting.

"Even before the atomic bomb hit our
front pages, many thoughtful, far-seeing
men were preaching the gospel of a free
press a's the surest shield against another
catastrophic war," said J. Glenn Babb,
foreign news editor for the Associated
Press in America, in his address before
the brilliant assemblage at a banquet
given by Duke University January 25 as
a concluding feature of the Midwinter
Newspaper Institute held during the week
of January 26 at Chapel Hill. The in-
stitute was under the sponsorship of the
North Carolina Press Association, in co-
operation with the University of North
Carolina and Duke University.

Dean William H. Wannamaker, vice-
president of Duke, presided over the pro-
gram. An official welcome was given by
the University's president, Dr. Robert L.
Flowers, followed by brief remarks by the
State Press Association's president, Har-
vey F. Laffoon.

Robert McLean, whose attendance was
uncertain on account of a broken arm,
arrived by plane in the late afternoon.
He was asked to address the assembly on
the subject of the present disagreement
between the State Department and the
press association in the important matter
of future broadcasting of world news.

McLean, president of the Associated
Press and president of the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin, told the asosciation that
he was highly critical of the inclusion of
news in the foreign informational serv-
ices to be established by the Government.

"Is, for example," he asked, "the dis-
semination of news abroad by short wave
broadcasting to become a deliberate in-
strument of foreign policy?"

"For," he answered, "we may readily
become engaged in not an armament race
but a propaganda race with other nations,
and becloud rather than clarify foreign
impressions of this country, since, as the

Manchester Guardian puts it: 'State prop-
aganda is apt to increase, not dispel
doubts about the purity of motive.'

"We are a people dedicated to the con-
clusion that given the facts, we will reach
right conclusions and that the force of
those conclusions will in the atmosphere
of broad daylight impel right action from
those whom we place in office.

"If we so act with ourselves, must we
not approach others in the same spirit,
and with the same confidence?"

McLean appeared in person before the
association, although it previously had
been announced that his engagement as
speaker would have to be cancelled be-
cause he suffered a broken arm in a fall.
He flew down in his private airplane.

He was accompanied on the speakers'
program by Glenn Babb, foreign news
editor of the Associated Press.

Babb, who was introduced by W. K.
Hoyt, Winston-Salem, spoke on the sub-
ject "Press Freedom and Hopes of Peace
in the Orient."

Recently returned to this country with
first-hand knowledge of the Orient, espe-
cially Japan, gained both before and
after the recent war, Babb said that he
chose to speak on this topic because it

Killed Ut Actum

Lieut. Edwin Granger Weld, '46, was
killed in action on April 29, 1945, on the
Negros Islands, Philippines, according to
word received by the Alumni Office. He
had been commissioned a second lieuten-
ant in the infantry at Fort Benning in
October, 1944, and arrived overseas early
in 1945. He had been with his company
less than a week when he was killed in
leading scouts on a reconnaissance mis-
sion. He has been buried in the Negros
Oriental province cemetery No. 1, Philip-
pine Islands.

Surviving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Ellis Weld of Clifton Springs, New York,
and two brothers, Robert and Ellis, Jr.,
who have both served in the Navy in the
Pacific theatre.

Staff Sergeant Don P. Simester, '43, has
been finally announced as "presumed

dead." He had been missing in action
since late 1943, but hope was held that
he had been a prisoner or that he was
hiding out until our troops retook Bou-
gainville, where the plane on which he
served disappeared. He was a radio-
gunner.

Don had completed 12 combat and 14
reconnaissance missions, despite his "lim-
ited service" status, when he met his
death. He had received the air medal
with an Oak Leaf Cluster and was in line
for a promotion. The plane on which Sim-
ester was flying at the time of the acci-
dent was not his own. He had taken the
place of a sick crewman for the flight.

He was a student leader both at Wads-

worth High School and at Duke. He is
survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. ft.
W. Simester of Wadsworth, Ohio.

Corporal John Francis Dykes, '45, was

killed in action in Germany in February,
1945. He is buried in Belgium.

He had joined the Army in January,
1943, and went overseas with the infantry
in November, 1944. He had first been re-
ported as missing.

Dykes had done his basic training at
Fort Bliss, Texas, and had attended
Chemical Warfare and Malaria Control
Schools. He had also received an alter-
nate appointment to West Point.

His overseas service was with a 99 mm.
gun crew.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John F. Dykes, Sr., a sister, Mrs.
Dorothy Jakubs and a brother-in-law, Lt.
Stanley Jakubs, USN.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, February, 1946

floJuuuf, JlosiXf, Revived, rt+uutal
2uGdfc*H4fle feintk&cuf, PatiUf,

An enthusiastic capacity crowd greeted
the return of a favorite son to the Duke
campus this month when Johnny Long,
Duke alumnus of the class of 1935, gave a
swing concert at Quadrangle Pictures in
celebration of the eighteenth birthday of
the campus theatre.

Foregoing a well-earned vacation which
was to follow the close of his engagement
at famous Frank Daley's Meadow7brook
in New Jersey, Long chose to accept the
invitation to appear at Duke extended by
Quadrangle Pictures, and the Pan-Hel-
lenic Council of the Woman's College,
Duke University.

A well-balanced selection of sweet and
swing, vocals and instrumental included
the following : The full band and chorus
in "White Star of Sigma Nu," "Shanty
Town" and "How Deep Is the Ocean,"
"Surprise Party," "It Might as Well be
Spring," "Waitin' for the Train to Come
•In," "Come to Baby Do," and "Para-
dise," with Francey Lane on the vocals,
"Symphony," featuring Johnny on the
violin, followed by "Junior" and the
"Honeydrippers," featuring Tex Mulcahy
and the sixteen-year-old trombone sensa-
tion, Don Paladino; "Summertime" with
Long on the violin, "Who's Sorry Now?"
and "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie." A medley
of "Kashmiri," "You've Got Me Crying
Again" and "Blue Moon," and a loud fast
version of "Liza," brought the concert to
a close.

Don Anthony, Francey Lane and the
Longfellows gave vocal interpretation to
the Johnny Long music.

Francey Lane made her debut into
musical big time with Long at the New
York Paramount Theatre. She joined
the Long aggregation right from a seat
in the study halls of Columbia Univer-
sity. She is petite, titian haired, and
talented.

Long is a North Carolinian, hailing
from Newell. He is a left-handed violinist
and formed a dance band while a fresh-
man at Duke University. He has been
fiddling for fancy prices ever since.

In addition to the stage performances
at the Quadrangle Pictures Birthday
Party, Long and his band played for the
first series of name band dances held on
the Duke campus since the spring of
1941. The series was sponsored by the
Woman's Pan-Hellenic Association and

was composed of formal dances Friday
and Saturday nights and a tea dance Sat-
urday afternoon. All the dances were
held in the Woman's College gymnasium.

With the tf-acuUtf,

Faculty Plat

The Faculty of Duke University pre-
sented a three-act farce entitled Adam's
Evening February 15 in the Woman's
College Auditorium.

The production was sponsored by the
class of '46 and the admission to the per-
formance was thirty-five cents. The en-
tire cast was made up of professors at
the University.

The comedy was presented in a movie
version called His Night Out, starring Ed-
ward Everett Horton and was hailed as
a "laugh riot." It involved a case of
mistaken identity and developed into one
of the neatest farcial situations ever
devised.

The entire cast for the Duke production
was as follows : Adam, Dr. Ernest Tal-
bert ; Adam's wTif e, Miss Dorothy Dale ;
Casper, Mr. Earl Mueller; Gertie, Miss
Mary Ellen McKee; Rosity, Dr. Kathryn
-leffers; Dr. Franzoni, Dr. William Black-
burn ; William Cokes, Dr. Lewis Leary ;
Mrs. Cokes, Miss Hulda Magalhaes; Taxi
Driver, Dr. Sigmund Koch; Mrs. Been,
Mrs. Corinne Grimsley.

Duke Economist Attends Meet

Professors Frank T. deVyver and Jo-
seph J. Spengler, of the Duke department
of economics, attended and participated
in the fifteenth annual conference of the
Southern Economic Association at the
Hotel Biltmore, Atlanta, Ga., on Feb-
ruary 15 and 16. At this meeting Pro-
fessor Spengler was elected first vice-
president of the organization. In addi-
tion he read a paper on "Price Control
in the Reconversion Period." Professor
deVyver presided over the section of the
conference devoted to a discussion of
labor problems in the post war era.

Miss Margaret Weeks Presides Over

Dr. Henderson's Book
Published by Duke

A recent publication, London and the
National Government, 1721-1742. writ-
ten by Dr. Alfred J. Henderson, who is a
member of the Department of History at
MacMurray College, Jacksonville, 111., is
now off the Duke University Press.

Apart from the studies already made
in the social and economic history of
eighteenth-century London, Dr. Hender-
son says in the preface to his book that
his purpose has been to make a careful
study of London politics during the ad-
ministration of Sir Robert Walpole,
which, he states, "is a time peculiarly
adapted for such a study, since in this
period of twenty-one years the national
government was under the continuous
leadership of one man."

Dr. Henderson further states that he
attempts to show on the one hand the par-
ticipation of the Londoners in national
affairs and their influence on the policies
of the administration, and on the other
the effect of the national situation on Lon-
don politics. He secured information for
this study from various contemporary
newspapers, corporation records, and
manuscript papers preserved in the Brit-
ish Museum and London Guildhall.

Dr. Henderson received the Ph.D. de-
gree from Duke in 1939. He did his
undergraduate work at Rochester Univer-
sity, where he received the A.B. degree
in '31, and the A.M. in '35. He was for-
merly dean of Kentucky Wesleyan. His
book, London and the National Govern-
ment, 1721-1742, is priced at $3.00.

Dr. Allen Publishes
Walt Whitman Book

Dr. Gray W. Allen, '26, A.M. '29, pro-
fessor of English at
Bowling Green State
University, is the au-
thor of a new book
on Walt Whitman
published by Pack-
ard and Company
in Chicago.

The book, entitled
W alt Whitman
Handbook, is a guide
to the study of Walt Whitman's writing
and to the scholarship on the man and his
poetry. In his final chapter Dr. Allen
presents, for the first time in America,
Walt Whitman as a world poet. He gives
a summary of the poet's reception and
influence in Europe, South America, and
South Africa.

During the academic year of 194-4-45
Dr. Allen was on leave of absence from
the University on a Rockefeller Founda-
tion fellowship carrying on research in
Xew York for a forthcoming book on
Whitman. Dr. Allen has published other
books in the field of American literature
and literary criticism, and is the author
of numerous articles and reviews in
scholarly and literary magazines, includ-
ing the New York Times Book Page.

Dr. Allen received the Ph.D. degree
from the University of Wisconsin in 1934.
He joined the faculty of Bowling Green
in 1935. While an undergraduate at Duke,
he was editor of the Duke Chronicle.

Forty-five Candidates
Receive Degrees;
Commissions Conferred

Congressman Graham A. Barden of the
Third Congressional District, was the
speaker at Duke University's spring com-
mencement exercises held in Page Audi-
torium at 11 a.m., February 25. The dis-
tinguished North Carolinian, veteran of
World War I, U.S.N., spoke to the 45
candidates for degrees, many of whom
received Xaval commissions at the same
time.

The February graduation was a wartime
measure, stemming from the training of
Xaval R.O.T.C. and V-12 men under the
emergency training program still in effect
at Duke. Of the 45 candidates, 40 were
Xavy men.

Thirty-three R.O.T.C. candidates were
commissioned at the exercises as ensigns
in the Xaval Reserve, and seven were
graduated under the V-12 training pro-
gram, which does not include commission-
ing at graduation.

Thirteen men were candidates for the
A.B. degree, 27 men and two women were
candidates for the B.S. degree and three
men were candidates for the B.S.M.E.
degree.

The commencement sermon was deliv-
ered by Dr. Wyatt A. Smart, Professor
of Biblical Theology at Emory Univer-
sity, at the regular service of worship, in
the Chapel at 11 o'clock Sunday morning,
February 24.

Degrees were awarded by Dr. Robert L.
Flowers, president of the University; and
candidates to be commissioned were sworn
in by Capt. A. X. Kowalsyk, Jr., U.S.X.,
commanding officer of the Duke Xavy
units.

Congressman Barden is a member of the
Sigma Chi and Phi Delta Phi fraternities.
He is chairman of the House Committee
on Education, and serves as committee
, member of Civil Service, Census, Labor,
Library, Rivers and Harbors, and Execu-
tive Expenditures. His son, Graham A.
Barden, Jr., is a student at the Duke
Universitv Medical School.

President Benes Sends
Dr. Flowers Greetings

Dr. Robert L. Flowers, president of
Duke, received a radiogram recently from
Duke Divinity School's former dean,
Bishop Paul N. Garber. Bishop Garber
is now in Switzerland serving the Meth-
odist Church in that area. The cable-

gram contained a message from President
Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia, with
whom the Bishop recently held confer-
ence while on a trip to Poland.

The radiogram said : "In audience with
President Benes today. He asked that
I send his greetings to you, the faculty
members, and students. President Benes
remembers with much pleasure his visit
to Duke University in April 1939." It
was signed by Bishop Garber.

Duke campus at the time of the centen-
nial celebration in April, 1939. He ap-
peared on the program April 22 as
speaker on the subject "Is Democracy in
Europe About to Collapse?" His visit
here came during his exile, following close

oak ta £. Q. ^laulttameMt;

Basketball team ends season with 18 wins and six losses; Vet-
erans return to bolster football squad; Only two lettermen re-
turn to baseball team; Carolina avenges early season loss by
54-44 drubbing of Blue Devils; Koffenberger, Seward, Whiting
are outstanding cagers for season.

With the regular season down in the
record books, the basketball Blue Devils
have their eyes on the Southern Confer-
ence Tournament to be played in Raleigh
this week-end.

Duke enters the tourney as the second
ceded team, the result of a fine season
in conference competition which found her
winner of 12 out of 14 games.

For the entire year, the Blue Devils
Avon 18 games as against six losses for
their best record since 1943.

Coach Gerry Gerard's "Big- Three" will
be very much in the running for All-
Conference honors when they face the
cream of the crop of the conference. The
three — Ed Koffenberger, Bubber Seward,
and Dick Whiting — have been largely re-
sponsible for the success of the team this
year.

Koffenberger, the leading candidate and
second-string All-Conference center last
year, was the high scorer on the squad
with a very fine total of 267 points. Kof-
fenberger never scored more than 19
points in one game, seldom totaled more
than 16 ; but consistency made him one
of the most valuable pivot men ever
to wear the Blue and White.

His defensive play was superb, and
considering the fact that game after game
he was assigned to guard men of greater
height (several of them All- Americans)
he was outscored by only three of the
opponents.

Second high in the scoring department
was Seward, the ex-prisoner of war who
returned to the squad after four games
had been played. Seward poured in 186
points in 19 games and was easily recog-
nized as the most aggressive "scrapper"
on the squad.

Team player Whiting continued his fine
floor play that earned him wide recog-
nition at Muhlenburg last season and was
the number three scorer with 183 points

The other two members of the starting-
five, Dick Gordon and Buck Cheek, fol-

lowed with 110 and 102 points respec-
tively.

Only six teams took the measure of the
Blue Devils all year. Two of those losses
were in the first two games of the season
when Camp Peary and Norfolk NTS out-
scored Duke before the team found its
winning combination and began to hit its
stride. After the pre-Christmas setbacks,
the Blue Devils won 12 games in a row
before they were stopped.

[Maryland, Navy, Temple, and North
Carolina were the other four clubs to
beat Duke, and Maryland, North Caro-
lina, and Norfolk NTS were whipped by
the Blue Devils in either the first or sec-
ond meetings between the teams. No team
beat Duke twice.

Spring football practice will get under
way next week, according to Coach Wal-
lace Wade. Informal indoor drills con-
sisting of calisthenics and passing drills
have been conducted in the gymnasium
for several weeks.

Five lettermen from last year's team
are certain to return, and around them
will be built the 1946 varsity. These men
are Kelley Mote, Ed Austin, Fred Palla-
dium, Ed Perini, and Bettis Herlong.

Buddy Luper, 1943 tailback, expects to
be out of the Marine Corps soon and will
return to the squad in time for late sum-
mer drills. Other ex-Duke GI's expected
back are Buddy Mulligan, reserve wing-
back in 1943 ; Clyde Redding, reserve on
the '41 Rose Bowl squad; Johnny Muse,
Jim Groome, and Irving Holmes, all
members of the 1942 freshman team; and
Charlie Davis and E. P. Bethune, first
and second string centers of the 1943
team.

Pre-season baseball drills have been
underway for two weeks, and Coach Jack
Coombs has quite a problem confronting
him. Only two regulars from last sea-
son's squad will be on hand. They are
Lefty Lee Griffeth, Coombs' number one
pitcher, and Ed Perini, regular left
fielder. Perini will not be available until
the close of football drills, and so Grif-
feth will be the only returning regular
to appear in the first practice sessions.

Biggest addition to the squad will be
Ed Little, slugging regular of the 1943

Shown above is the 12-man squad that has brought Duke through one of the most suc-
cessful seasons in recent years. They are ceded number two in the Southern Conference
Tournament to begin in Ealeigh, February 28. Other men in the picture are the managers
for the 1946 season.

season, who has returned from the service
and will be the leading candidate for
catcher.

Biggest losses of men counted upon
were Carl Walker, a top ex-GI prospect
for the first base post, who signed pro-
fessional several weeks ago, and Alan
Elger, former Duke football player and
leading hitter of the North Carolina
squad while in the Navy V-12 program at
Chapel Hill last year. Elger also turned
professional.

The largest crowd ever to attend a
basketball game south of Philadelphia
watched Carolina's White Phantoms hand
Duke a 54-44 setback in the Indoor Sta-
dium on February 16. A capacity crowd
(three weeks before the game the big
Duke gymnasium was sold out) numbered
8,800 spectators.

The Carolina win avenged an earlier
loss to the Blue Devils. Duke had upset
a heavily favored Tar Heel team in
Chapel Hill by a 51-46 overtime count.
In the second meeting the Blue Devils
matched the Phantoms point for point in
the first half, but the winners pulled out
after intermission, sparked by the re-
markable play of Bones McKinney, and
were never threatened. Koffenberger was
the second high scorer of the night with
16 points.

Duke Student Wins
Second Highest Award

Robert 0. Lawton, Jr., a member of
the senior class at Duke from Greenwood,
S. C, has been awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross. The award is the second
highest award given by the United States
and is the highest given by the Armed
Forces since the Congressional Medal of
Honor, the only higher award, is con-
ferred by the Congress.

The citation reads : "Sergeant Lawton
went forward through a hail of fire in an
effort to silence the weapons of enemy
foxholes. Several yards from the hostile
positions, he threw grenades and fired his
machine pistol, killing ten of the enemy
and capturing twenty-five. Seeing intense
fire coming from a stone quarry, he ad-
vanced, hurled the remainder of his gre-
nades and fired his machine pistol, killing
an additional fifteen and capturing thirty
enemy soldiers. Sergeant Lawton's sin-
gular action, outstanding courage, and ex-
treme devotion to duty reflect great credit
upon himself and the armed forces."

The action for which Sergeant Lawton
was cited took place in Paderborn, Ger-

many, on April 1, 1945, while he was
serving with Company I, of the 414th In-
fantry Regiment.

In addition to the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross, he wears the European Theater
Ribbon, the Good Conduct Medal, and the
Purple Heart. He has recently returned
to this country and has entered Duke to
finish his education. He studied two
years at Wofford College prior to enter-
ing the service and received credit for
three years' work on the accelerated
program.

Press Institute

"furnishes perhaps the best case history
of all for the study of how a great insti-
tution can go wrong, and how it can be
brought back to a chance of redemption."

Referring to the free press as a shield
against further war, Babb said, "This gos-
pel has a force multiplied many times.
The need for the dissemination of true
and honest news and information through-
out the world never has been so com-
pelling. Our government and other gov-
ernments have recognized this fact. There
is every promise that it will have an early
place in the deliberations of the United
Nations, possibly in the April session of
the assembly."

Stating that the newspapers of Japan,
before its entrance in the war in 1931,
wTere among the strongest, most vigorous
and progressive in the world, enjoying
circulations among the world's largest, im-
porting freely the news of the outside
world and exercising their freedom to
criticize the civilian government of the
day, Babb said that they had never dared
criticize or deal realistically with two
subjects, that of the place of the emperor
and the myth of his divinity, or with the
armed forces. This, he said, contributed
to their fall.

The American editor recalled the be-
ginning of the rising tide of militarism
in Japan, when the papers and few jour-
nalists realized that the path of conquest
led to ultimate disaster, yet were forced
to yield to the pressure of the patriots.

"Together with the radio and all other
means of communication it permitted it-
self to be fashioned into a terrible instru-
ment for misleading the people and mak-
ing them ready for war. Pearl Harbor
found the press full regimented. In the
forefront Avas the notorious Domei newTs
agency.

"In my opinion," Babb said, "the
American occupation of Japan has been

conducted on a level with wise statesman-
ship, holding out the hope that the Jap-
anese people may yet become a peaceful,
useful member of the family of nations.
None of the orders handed down by the
supreme commander have been more salu-
tary or of greater promise than those
which imposed freedom of the press on
the Japanese."

Babb, who was formerly foreign news-
writer on the staff of the Japan Adver-
tiser, and Associated Press staff at Tokyo,
before he became news editor for the
Associated Press in 1943, said that he had
talked with many of the men who will
run Japan's newspapers during the next
few years, and that many of them had
said that the freedom of the press would
be insurance against any further military
adventures in the foreseeable future. In
addition to General MacArthur's other
forms of insurance against war effort, the
new7 freedom felt by the Japanese editors
had been pledged sincerely to the intent
of building a new Japan.

"In place of the Domei agency has
risen a new agency," said Babb. "It is
called Kyodo, or co-operative, owned by
all the daily newspapers of the country,
and patterned after the Associated Press
of the United States. It declares itself
to be entirely free of government influence
or support."

Governor R. Gregg Cherry of North
Carolina announced the winners of the
1945 essay contests in the high school and
college levels. The contests were spon-
sored by the North Carolina Press Asso-
ciation and were open to all students who
fell within the limits of the high school
and college levels in North Carolina.

JlectuAel at lAJamcudl CaUe^e

Rockwell Kent, lecturer, painter and
author, presented a lecture on the subject
"Art for Evervone" at the Woman's Col-

lege Auditorium Thursday night, Feb-
ruary 7.

Kent, who was brought to the campus
by the Student Forurn, is one of the na-
tion's outstanding art authorities. He

has been acclaimed in Europe and South
America as one of the foremost North
American artists and illustrators. He is
a writer who has proven himself as skill-
ful with the pen as with the brush. He
is a social philosopher whose pictured
thoughts have done a great deal in shap-
ing an America where democracy is be-
coming more vital. His talent reaches
people in all financial and social groups.

Mr. Kent is a master carpenter and
tended, in his early life, toward archi-
tecture. He attended Columbia's School
of Architecture until he felt that art more
than architecture was his forte. He stud-
ied under some of the most important
painters in America until his talents were
recognized and his exhibit at the National
Academy of Design won the New York
critics' praise.

Rooks by the noted artist include Wil-
derness, Voyaging, N by E, and This Is
21 g Own.

The Student Forum of the University,
sponsoring the lecture by Mr. Kent, is
under the chairmanship of Miss Virginia
Suiter of Weldon.

113,597 DOCTORS FROM COAST TO COAST WERE ASKED!

According to this recent Nationwide survey:

More Doctors smoke Camels
than any other cigarette!

This is no casual claim. It's an actual fact. Based on the statements of doctors
themselves to three nationally known independent research organizations.

The question was very simple. One
that you... any smoker... might
ask a doctor: "What cigarette do you
smoke, Doctor?"

After all, doctors are human too.
Like you, they smoke for pleasure. Their
taste, like yours, enjoys the pleasing
flavor of costlier tobaccos. Their throats
too appreciate a cool mildness.

And more doctors named Camels
than any other cigarette!

If you are a Camel smoker, this pref-
erence for Camels among physicians
and surgeons will not surprise you. But

CAMEL — COSTLIER TOBACCOS

if you are not now smoking Camels,
try them. Compare them in your
"f-Zone'.'

THE "T-ZONE" TEST
WILL TELL YOU

The "T-Zone"— T for taste
and T for throat— is your
own proving ground for any
cigarette. Only your taste
and throat can decide which
cigarette tastes best to
you- . . . how it affects

THE REVIEWERS SAY:

"Considering its limited source. 'One and Twenty' maintains a remarkably high literary stand-
ard; there must be something in the air of Duke that is favorable to writing. . . . Duke has its poets
as well as its fiction writers — notable among them, John Schaffner, Virginia Hodges Tabler, and R. P.
Harriss — but again the prose outweighs the verse. It is prose that is content to be conventional ; it is
prose of writers who have felt no temptation to rjn after the advance-guard of contemporary liter-
ature. But the conventions stand up well. . . ." Ben Rav Redman in The Saturdav Review of Literature,
February 9, 1946.

"This is a college anthology and a good one. . . . Would you like to get some inside information
on the quality of the minds and literary sense of the present college generation? If so, read 'One
rnd Twentv' and be pleasantly surprised." Walter S. Adams in the Asheville Citisen-Times, Tanuarv
6, 1946.

". . . To be considered, too, is the fact that the book provides one of those rare and exciting
indexes to young thought so seldom presented to the reading public. It shows the undeniable interest
of student writers in the shades of human characte" and they, without exception, exhibit a fresh absorp-
tion in the inner workings of the mind and reason." The Greensboro News and The Greensboro Record,
December 30, 1945.

Pearl Harbor
February 26, 1946

This is just a short note to let you know of my new address. I
was screened off the ship because of low points and low months over-
seas.

I've been here about ten days and have run into many Duke men :
Herman Smith, Wally McCown, Charley Switzer, and Al Steele. While
at officer's club last night I ran into Art Primm. If all goes well Art,
Tim Moore and I are going up to see Harvey Bullock over the weekend
and we hope Herman Smith can join us. I guess you've realized it
is a small world after all.

I met Lewis Branscomb here and naturally I asked so many ques-
tions so rapidly he was stunned. It sounds as if life back there is
getting back to normal. I frankly feel that next year, or I should
say next fall, will be one of the happiest Duke has ever seen.

Prom : Ens. William Owen, U.S.N.R., B.S. '44.

February 12, 1946

I've been constantly surprised by the number of Duke men I've
met out here — Joe Knowles, Clarence Smith, Ed Davis, Jerry Craw-
ford, Bob Cowan, Marshall Courtney, Joe Cade, Jimmy Gribben, Har-
old Barringer, and many others. I don't know whether you remember
them all, since quite a few went through V-12 without having a chance
to graduate. We also had a Radio Technician, Charles Dennis (class
of '38 or '39, I think) on the ship until a couple of weeks ago, when
he left on points.

Our ship had been laid up for repairs on Guam for four months,
so I've had ample opportunity to look the island over, including Jap
caves, tanks, two man subs, etc., etc. There are still a few holdouts on
the island who haven't heard about the war being over — not enough to
cause much trouble, but enough to make life interesting. The CB's did
a fine job of developing the island in a short time, so that Guam is
now the biggest base west of Pearl Harbor. What we appreciate
more than anything else, though, is the recreational facilities they've
built — dozens of theatres, baseball diamonds, beaches and officers' clubs.

The points still don't look too good from here, but I'm hoping the
big day will fall some time early in July. After that, I intend to go
back to college for three more years with the help of the GI Bill of
Rights and get a Ph.D. in physics.

My most interesting experience to date was going through the ty-
phoon off Okinawa about September 16; you probably read an account
of it in a recent issue of the Readers' Digest. The waves and driving
spray presented a picture that can't be imagined without being seen.
Some of the waves were fifty and sixty feet high, and compared to a
ship that's only 173 feet from bow to stem, that's a heck of a lot of

1946 Commencement, Man 24-25

The 1946 annual Commencement will be held during a
twenty-four hour period again this year as it has for the
past several years. Trinity College and the College of
Engineering, in addition to several of the professional
schools, will be holding classes during the commencement
period, as the semester for Trinity College and the Col-
lege of Engineering does not end until June 23.

The annual Commencement, one of the outstanding
events of the alumni calendar year, makes unusual de-
mands upon the energy and time of the staff of the
Alumni Office. And although this event is more than two
months in the future, already everyone connected in any
way with the maintaining of alumni affairs is busily en-
gaged, along with the other duties of the office, in making
necessary preparations. This work will not be completed
until the event is over and the last alumnus has departed
from the campus. The smallest detail must be checked
carefully to see that everything possible is done to assure
the returning alumni the kind of welcome and visit they
naturally expect. This means many letters must be written
to class officers, officers of the General Association, both
alumni and alumnae, and the Council officers and mem-
bers calling attention to the Commencement program.
Conferences must be held with alumni in arranging the
program for the alumni luncheon and the election of class
officers. Such detailed preparations are most exacting,
but at the same time one of the most pleasant tasks per-
formed throughout the entire year by the Alumni Office
staff.

Joining with the Alumni Office in making preparation
for the occasion are the officers of the reunion classes.
These classes are '96, '10, 11, '12, 13, '21, '29, '30, '31,
'32, '36, and '45. The class officers appoint committees to
make arrangements for their class to participate in the
activities. They must get out letters to the individual
class members telling about the general plans for Com-
mencement. Letters are sent to the individual members
of the classes also, asking them to attend Commencement
and to notify the class officers and the Alumni Office
whether or not they will be present, and, if so, whether
or not they can attend the luncheon and other special fea-
tures.

and due to the lack of space and other facilities, it seems
advisable this year not to attempt the holding of various
class dinners, but rather to reserve tables for the reunion
classes at the general luncheon which will be held in the
Union Building, Saturday, May 25, at 1 :00 p.m. Dining
hall facilities will be taxed to the limit : therefore, the
general luncheon will be held on the second floor of the
Union and the number of alumni who can be accommo-
dated will be limited by the available space. Class officers
are being asked to send to the members of their classes a
letter enclosing a return card. If you are a lr ember of
one of the reunion classes, we hope that you will return
your card as soon as possible after receiving it, indicating
whether or not you plan to attend the luncheon. If you
are not a member of a reunion class and plan to attend
Commencement and the luncheon, we hope you will write
to the Alumni Office and tell us you plan to be here. This
will be the first time in several years we have held the
annual commencement luncheon, and, in connection with
the holding of this luncheon, as well as in other com-
mencement events, there are still many difficulties to over-
come, despite the fact that hostilities have ceased.

Although there are many details in connection with the
holding of commencement, not only in preparation for the
returning alumni but in cooperating with University offi-
cials in numerous ways relative to this occasion, may we
repeat, it is one of the most pleasant tasks of the entire
year. We sincerely hope that the returning alumni will
enjoy the 1946 Commencement more than any other simi-
lar occasion and that this Commencement will make a defi-
nite contribution in increasing the splendid University-
alumni relationship.

If there is anything the Alumni Office can do to make
your visit to the campus more enjoyable, either before
you return or while you are here, it will be a sincere pleas-
ure to do it. If you have any suggestions that you think
might help to make the commencement period more com-
plete, we hope you will pass them on to us.

While emphasis this year is being placed on the reunion
classes, returning alumni, whether members of reunion
classes or not, will find a heart}' welcome awaiting them.

Since Trinity College and the College of Engineering
will be holding classes during the 1946 Commencement

We are sure from past experience that we can count on
the complete cooperation of the alumni.

Perhaps you know their
dads and mothers, or
even their grandparents.
This feature has had
never-failing pop ularity,
and the REGISTER will
welcome additional pic-
tures, of children six
years old and under, of
alumni and alumnae.
They will be published
as soon as possible after
being received.

4?04 May Qo4fune4tce4nent £x&uU&el

Dr. Walter Mark Depp to deliver Commencement sermon; An-
nual reception to be held; Trustees, Alumni and Alumnae Coun-
cils to meet; Woman's College seniors to conduct annual flag
lowering; Luncheon revived; Classes to hold reunions.

For the fifth time the annual Com-
mencement of Duke University will take
place within a period of twenty-four
hours. The 1946 finals will begin at 2 :00
p.m. on Friday, May 24, and close with
the annual Alumni-Alumnae Luncheon at
12 -.45 p.m., Saturday, May 25. This will
be the 94th Commencement since Duke
University and its antecedents began
awarding degrees, and will be the 54th
such event to take place since Trinity
College was moved to Durham.

Dr. Walter Mark Depp, pastor of Cen-
tenary Methodist Church, Winston-Salem,
will deliver the annual Commencement
Sermon in the Duke University Chapel
on Friday evening, May 24, at 8 :30
o'clock. Members of the graduating
classes will attend in cap and gown, with
the traditional academic procession open-
ing the service.

A well-known minister of the Meth-
odist Church, Dr. Depp has served at St.
Paul's Methodist Church, Sykesville,
Md. ; Rognel Heights Church, Baltimore,
Md. ; Market Street Church, Winchester,
Va. ; Calvary Church, Washington, D. C;
St. Marks Church, Baltimore; Christ's
Church, Pittsburgh, Pa. He was a chap-
lain in the First World War.

At 9 :45 o'clock Friday evening, follow-
ing the Commencement Sermon, Anton
Brees, who for the past fourteen years
has been carillonneur to the University,
will be heard in a recital in honor of the
graduating classes. Each year Mr. Brees
opens his series of summer programs with
the Commencement recital, which will be
the case again this year.

Tentative plans are for the Board of
Trustees to hold its annual meeting at
2 :00 o'clock Friday afternoon in the
Trustees' Room in the Administration
Building on the University campus. At
the same time, the Alumni and Alumnae
Councils will meet in the University
Union for their annual sessions. This
follows a plan which was adopted several
years ago.

The first official event of Commence-
ment for candidates for degrees and their

guests will be the outdoor reception on
the lawn of the Woman's College campus
Friday at 6:00 p.m. This will be fol-
lowed by the annual flag-lowering exer-
cises, when the senior class of the Wom-
an's College will officially close the aca-
demic year for 1945-46. Following a tra-
dition of several years' standing, the pres-
ident of the senior class will lower the
flag and return it to the President of the
University for safekeeping until the For-
mal Opening of the academic year in the
fall.

The Graduating Exercises will be held
in Page auditorium on Saturday morning,
May 25, at 11 :00 o'clock. Pai-tieipating
in the program will be The Honorable R.
Gregg Cherry, Governor of North Caro-
lina, who will bring a message in behalf
of the State, and President Robert L.

Flowers, who will bring a message from
the University.

The annual Alumni-Alumnae Luncheon
will take place in the Union Building at
12:45 p.m. Saturday, immediately follow-
ing the Graduating Exercises in Page
Auditorium. Reunion class dinners will
not be held this year as Trinity College
and the College of Engineering, both
housed on the University campus and still
operating on the accelerated program,
will use all the dining hall facilities.
Members of reunion classes, however,
will be seated together at special tables
at the general luncheon. This year marks
the revival of the Alumni-Alumnae
Luncheon since its discontinuance last
year because of wartime conditions.

Marshals for the commencement period
will again be selected from the Woman's
College, it has been announced by Alan
K. Manchester, University Marshal.

A more detailed program of Com-
mencement events will be published in the
April issue of the Register.

Qotedtof School fyeMxHAtUUpA

The establishment of two forestry fel-
lowships at the School of Forestry of
Duke University by the Union Bag &
Paper Corporation, whose Savannah,
Georgia, plant is the largest operation of
its kind in the world, was announced re-
cently. Two forestry scholarships at the
George Foster Peabody School of For-
estry of the University of Georgia were
also announced at the same time.

The purpose of the forestry fellow-
ships, it was pointed out by D. J. Hard-
enbrook, vice-president of the Union Bag
& Paper Corporation, is to stimulate the
interest of young men in the forestry
problems of private owners, and to assist
in the education of qualified forestry stu-
dents. The awards will be effective with
the opening of the 1946 fall term.

The two fellowships, to be known as
the Union Bag & Paper Corporation For-

estry Fellowships, will be awarded each
year to forestry graduates, or others who
are qualified for studies leading to higher
degrees in forestry at Duke University.
Preference will be given qualified appli-
cants from Southern forestry schools for
one of the awards.

The fellowships will be awarded by the
faculty of the School of Forestry of
Duke University on the basis of scholar-
ship and those personal qualifications
usually required for successful careers
in private employment.

The fellowships carry cash awards of
$800 each, with an additional joint fund
of $900 to cover travel, hire of incidental
labor, and purchase of supplies, which
might be required by the students in the
pursuit of their studies. Union Bag &
Paper Corporation will employ the men

President Robert L. Flowers was pre-
sented the award as Durham's most dis-

tinguished citizen of the year at the an-
nual dinner meeting- of the Chamber of
Commerce, Friday night, March 22. The
civic honor award presented to Dr. Flow-

ers by Col. M. B. Fowler read as follows :

"By his fellow citizens of the City of
Durham in recognition and appreciation
of his invaluable contribution to the edu-
cational, business, and spiritual life of
this community during his 55 years of
service to Trinity College and Duke Uni-
versity as teacher, administrator, and
president :

"For his devotion and helpfulness to
others as a trustee of the Duke Endow-
ment for 21 years; as chairman of the
board of trustees of the North Carolina
College for Negroes for 18 years; as a
member of the Board of Education of
the Methodist Episcopal Church for 30
years and as a trustee for two orphan-
ages ;

"For the generous giving of his time
and endeavors to all civic undertakings
for the betterment of Durham, including
22 years as a director and two terms as
president of the Durham Chamber of
Commerce ;

"For his complete understanding which
has endeared him alike to student, faculty
and community." The award was signed
by President Donnie A. Son-ell, retiring-
president of the chamber.

When Mrs. Frances Salmon Black, '38,
stopped at Duke recently, she had quite
a story to tell concerning her confinement
at Santo Tomas, Manila, where she, her
husband and small son, and her parents
and sister and her brother-in-law, were
civilian internees for three years. Her
sister's husband lost his life shortly be-
fore their liberation.

Telling of her fortitude during the in-
ternment is far too superficial a tale to
recount concerning her experience. To
manage under constant surveillance and
under the most primitive conditions for
three years, and to bring a child up in
such an atmosphere is an achievement
which will speak for itself.

She told of the evening the Americans
arrived to liberate them. It was a tank

company of men from Texas who brought
freedom to Santo Tomas, and Mrs. Black
says never were men more considerate,
more gentle and more courteous than
those big husky Texans. She also com-
mented on how the childrens' eyes lighted
up upon seeing the Americans. They had
never imagined that men attained such a
stature. Having associated for three
years, with the Japanese, and their own
shrunken fathers, the boys and girls were
unable to realize that men grew to such
a size ! There was great rejoicing and
celebration the day when "Uncle Sam's
lighting men," long promised to Santo
Tomas' youngsters, finally arrived.

Mrs. Black and her family will return
to Manila in June, if transportation can
be provided for them, to rebuild what is
left of their home and their life.

Mrs. John C. Kilgo
Dies in Charlotte

Mrs. Fannie Turner Kilgo, wife of the
late Bishop John C. Kilgo, president of
Trinity College from 1894 until 1910,
died at her Charlotte home early this
month. Mrs. Kilgo had been in declining
health for 19 months.

Funeral services were conducted at the
Hawthorne Lane Methodist Church in
Charlotte, with Rev. J. C. Cornette offi-
ciating. He was assisted by Rev. J. R.
Hamilton, pastor of the Kilgo Methodist
Church in Charlotte. Interment was in
Elmwood Cemetery.

Born September 8, 1860, Mrs. Kilgo
was the daughter of the late J. P. and
Susan Snead Turner, both of Cherokee
County, S. C. She was one of the oldest
alumnae of Limestone College at Gaffney,
S. C, at the time of her death. On De-
cember 20, 1882, she was married to John
C. Kilgo, who then was a member of
the South Carolina conference of the
Methodist church.

From 1882 until 1889 Bishop Kilgo
held various charges in the South Caro-
lina conference, and then was made finan-
cial agent and head of the Bible depart-
ment of Wofford College. In 1894 he was
elected president of Trinity College, now
Duke University, and he and Mrs. Kilgo
lived in Durham. In 1910, Dr. Kilgo
was elected bishop.

Surviving are two sons, J. L. Kilgo of
Greenville and John C. Kilgo, of Char-
lotte; two daughters, Mrs. Kope Elias,
and Mrs. B. T. Groome, also of Char-
lotte; six grandchildren, and one great-
grandchild, and one brother, Fred Turner
of Gaffnev, S. C.

Trinity College has largest enrollment with 1,613 students; 900
former G.I.'s taking work; Navy in last wartime-program se-
mester; 238 former Duke men back in school; 850 women are
registered.

Complete registration figures for the
spring term show that there are 3,857
students studying for college diplomas
and higher degrees in all schools and col-
leges at the University.

The largest body of students is regis-
tered in Trinity College, which is the
men's undergraduate college. There is
a total of 1,613 students enrolled in this
college with 58 of this number taking
work in the Woman's College program.

Approximate figures from the office of
the Veterans' Adviser show that there are
900 former service men attending Duke
under the G. I. Bill of Rights. Of this
number approximately 700 are enrolled
in Trinity College and the College of En-
gineering with the remainder attending
classes in the other schools and colleges.

There are 275 men enrolled in the Col-
lege of Engineering, 119 of whom are
civilian students and 156 of whom are
Navy V-12 or R.O.T.C. students.

The Navy has a total of 619 men study-
ing in both Trinity College and the Col-
lege of Engineering in the V-12, V-5 and
R.O.T.C. programs. These men are par-
ticipating in the last wartime schedule
program to be held at Duke according to
present plans that call for a discontin-
uance of the V-12 and V-5 programs and
a change to a peacetime basis for the
R.O.T.C. in July of this year.

There are 511 students attending classes
in Trinity College and the College of En-
gineering on a civilian basis not under
the 0. I. Bill. In addition there are two
commissioned officers on the Naval train-
ing faculty who are attending classes on
a special basis.

Tabulation of figures also shows that
there are 238 former students in the un-
dergraduate colleges who left the Uni-
versity to join the armed forces before
the completion of their education, but
who have now returned to resume work
for degrees.

The School of Nursing has a total of
208 trainees, 173 of whom are participat-

ing- in the Army Cadet Nurse program.
The Medical School has 282 students
working for the M.D. degree. There are
approximately 100 men doing work with
the Medical School on a graduate basis.
Most of these are former service doctors
taking refresher courses before entering
active practice.

The Woman's College has a total of
850 women students for the spring semes-
ter which began in February.

The Law School has a total of 129 stu-
dents enrolled in the program that em-
braces both the Duke and Wake Forest
Law Schools. These schools have been
operating on a combined basis due to
wartime conditions. Of the total figure
registered in the Law School, 98 are Duke
men and the remainder are Wake Forest
students.

The Divinity School has a total of 152
men studying for the B.D. degree. And
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
has approximately 215 men and women
studying for higher degrees.

Approximate figures for the School of
Forestry show that 31 student are en-
rolled.

Alumni Associations
Hold Annual Meetings

NEWPORT NEWS, VA.

Plans for the reorganization of the
Newport News alumni of Duke Univer-
sity were formulated at a meeting on
February 13. Thomas L. Martin, presi-
dent of the group, presided and an-
nounced that the association had begun
preparations to revise the roll of Duke
alumni in the peninsula area. He re-
quested that all alumni who are new-
comers to Newport News get in touch
with him at the Morrison High School
or telephone Gene Moss, Newport News
2-2217. This cooperation on the part of

new arrivals is urgently requested, be-
cause under present conditions there is an
unusual amount of movement on the part
of the alumni constituency.

During the meeting Gene Moss was
elected secretary-treasurer.

At the meeting the group decided to
hold three meetings each year, one each
in October, February, and May. All
members of the local association will be
notified two or more weeks in advance of
each meeting.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

Edward A. Howell, '32, was elected
president of the Jacksonville, Fla., alumni
association at a recent meeting of that
organization. The meeting was a dinner
affair with Jack Dunlap, '35, retiring

Edward A. Howell

president, presiding. Thirty-five former
Duke students were present at the meet-
ing.

The association is planning numerous
functions in Jacksonville and vicinity.
First on the list is an Easter party for
alumni, students, and friends of the Uni-
versity in that part of Florida.

Other officers elected at the recent

meeting of the association were: Mrs.

Clyde Harris (the former Kitty Kiker),

of government, without coercion, to the

Department officers, and Trakas is among

Medical BoUooii in Q&unatuf,

Conditions in German hospitals and
medical schools were very bad, according
to Dr. Wilburt C. Davison, Dean of the
Duke School of Medicine. This observa-
tion was based on information gathered
by Dr. Davison during an inspection trip
abroad last summer at the invitation of
the United States Army. Of the seven
schools in the United States zone of occu-
pation, only three were physically intact
at< the time of Dr. Davison's visit. These
were the schools at Marburg, Heidelberg
and Erlangen. The other four, those at
Giessen, Frankfort, Munich and Wiirz-
burg, had improvised usable accommoda-
tions for the hospital care of patients
in their communities, but their facilities
for teaching were inadequate.

Of the German medical schools, Dr.
Davison had this to say : "The German
medical schools, which were good in 1912,
have not kept pace with the advances in
medicine. Except for an occasional spe-
cialist who has become famous, the Ger-
man graduates, even those who took post-
graduate work as assistants, are not equal
to the average American senior medical
student. The reasons are lectures with-
out adequate laboratory and clinical
work, too many students with little or no
selection, inadequate facilities and facul-
ties which are too small, the members of
which do not know modern non-German
medicine, whose salaries depend on the
number of their students so that they are
tempted to encourage an increased en-
rollment, who also examine their own
students and thus may lower standards,
and who have too much private practice.
Furthermore, the separation of research
workers from the medical schools into
Kaiser Wilhelm institutes has reduced the
productiveness of German medicine so
that the medical journals for a genera-
tion have been of little scientific value."

Three programs were suggested for the
opening of the medical schools in Ger-
many : limited denazification without re-
form, the removal of only those individ-
uals arrested under orders of AMG or
removed by action of the present faculty
or its planning committee; complete de-
nazification and reform with active Amer-
ican participation, selection of the stu-
dents, reorganization of the curriculum
and active participation by American
medical schools in the German medical

school revamped program; and complete
denazification without reform ; the denazi-
fication of the medical faculties without
reorganization of the medical curriculum,
except for the elimination of Xazi ideol-
ogy and dangerous research activities.

Men's Glee Club Takes
Annual Eastern Tour

An enthusiastic audience applauded
the first 1946 concert given by the Duke
University Men's Glee Club, conducted

uals, and patriotic music was presented.
Solos by Howard James, baritone; Aid-
rich Northrup, tenor; E. H. Nease, Jr.,
tenor and Beverly Howerton, pianist,
were presented.

The double quartet, nucleus of the Glee
Club, was called back for numerous en-
cores at the March concert.

The Glee Club is now on tour through-
out the eastern states. It will be heard
in a special broadcast from the studios
of radio station WABC, New York, over
the Columbia Broadcasting System, from
4:30-4:45 on Saturday, March 30.

On March 29, the Duke University
Club of New York will present the or-
ganization in a concert at the Ambassa-
dor Hotel. Admission for this event will
be $1.00. The Duke University Club will
hold a dance for the Glee Club imme-
diately after the concert.

BUILDING STORY FEATURES
DURHAM MEETING

The annual meeting of the Durham
County Alumni Association, presided
over by E. Burke Hobgood, '08, was held
at the Washington Duke Hotel Thursday,
February IS, attended by one hundred
and fifty former students. Prof. R. L.
Flowers, A.M. '04, -spoke on the interest-
ing developments in connection with the
building program. The retiring Secre-
tary, J. H. Coman, '16, made a good re-
port of the activities of the association
during the past year. The nominating
committee, of which Murray Jones, '07,
was chairman, made the following nomi-
nations, Charles H. Livengood, '04, Pres-
ident; and B. U. Rose, '19, Secretary-
Treasurer; these officers were unani-
mously elected.

DUKE DEBATERS WIN
FROM RICHMOND

Defending the negative side of the
proposition, Resolved, That organized la-
bor should enter politics as a separate
party, Duke University debaters won the
unanimous decision of the judges in a
spirited debate held last Friday, Feb. 12,
with Richmond University. This was the
first inter-collegiate debate of the season
to be held on the local campus, and de-
spite the fact that there were many con-
flicting exercises being held in the college
community, a fairly large audience at-
tended.

Richmond was ably represented by the
veteran trio, A. Stephen Stepanian,
Harry M. Hermain, and G. Guy White.
For Duke, William G. Pratt, George B.
Johnson, and Whiteford S. Blakeney,
three veterans also, furnished opposition
of the nature that is seldom exhibited in
inter-collegiate debating circles of the
state.

Judges for the contest were: Prof. C.
C. Cunningham, of X. C. State College;
Prof. M. S. Heath, of the University of
North Carolina, and Rev. Stanley C.
Harrell, of Durham. Prof. R. L. Flowers
presided and Prof. F. S. Aldridge acted
as time-keeper. An informal smoker was
held in honor of the debaters in the Hes-
perian literary hall immediately follow-
ing dismissal in Craven.

FRESHMAN CAPS BURNED

Inaugurating the custom of heralding
their emancipation from conspicuousness,
the Freshmen tossed their Blue Skull
Caps into a mammoth bonfire on the cam-
pus recently, after they had conformed to
the rules of the Men's Association for
the required time. The Class of 1929 en-
tered solidly into the spirit of cap wear-
ing last fall and as a result have made a
distinctive contribution to the welding of
class and college spirit. Next year, the
Class of 1930 will don the caps and will
be designated as a class by reason there-
of. The Register believes that the Fresh-
men caps are worthwhile and are not ob-
jectionable in any way.

EARL R, SYKES, '15, ELECTED
TO PHI BETA KAPPA

At the annual spring elections, the
Beta Chapter (Duke University) of Phi
Beta Kappa elected Dr. Earl R. Sykes,
'15, Associate Professor of Economics in
Dartmouth College, alumni member of
the society. Dr. Sykes has clone consid-
erable research in the field of economics
and political science and his election
comes as a well-deserved reward. The
following members of the Class of 1926
were elected to membership in Phi Beta
Kappa : Lizzie Loyde Cothran, Timber-
lake, Julia W. Potts, Blackstone, Va.,
Walter Brem Mayer, Charlotte, Roderick
Milnor Love, Newland, Ralph Lydron
Biggerstaff, Forest City, and Ethel Mae
Davis, Durham.

water. The ship took some 45 degree
rolls that had us wondering whether she
would come up again or not, but between
the skill of our CO., and plenty of luck,
we rode through without any serious
damage or a single casualty.

I hope the day won't be too far off
when I'll be able to come back to Duke
again for a visit. Meanwhile, I'm look-
ing forward to hearing from you again
soon.

From : Lt. Craig G. Dalton, '44.

. . . Lately, Ave have been traveling
through Empire waters, and it has been

difficult to receive our mail. If it is pos-
sible, could you send me the copies of
the Register, commencing from June,
1945. Remembering those rainy months
in the_ winter at Duke, I thought that
was something bad, but nothing compares
to the weather in Japan and adjacent is-
lands. Two months ago we left Ulithi,
from where we have been operating- in
the past, and proceeded to Okinawa,
where we remained until our journey to
Kure, Japan. Okinawa is indeed the one
noted place for typhoons. During the
past three months, they have had one
every ten days, and consequently, we have
to put out to sea. I never did go ashore
at Buckner Bay, mainly because there are
few places we are allowed to visit. How-
ever, I did run into a few of the fellows
Art Primm, who is on the Hamul (AD
20), and Charlie Speth, aboard the LST
446. Charlie and I spent one evening
talking about old times.

Medical and Nursing

walzyk, USN, head of the Duke naval

eighteenth-century France to selections
from original writings by students and
faculty members of the University.

yoeman 3/C without boot training and
was stationed in Pensacola, Fla., for 26
months, where she was attached to a
training squadron. She was married in
Pensacola in October, 1944, and was dis-
charged from there in October, 1945.
Her husband is completing his require-
ments for the Ph.D. degree in English at
Duke while she is working on her A.B.
degree in English at the Woman's Col-
lege.

Lucille Lawton of Orlando, Fla., is
the only Marine among the returned serv-
ice women. She was graduated from
Florida State College for Women in 1943,
whereupon she enlisted in the Marine
Corps. After boot training at New River,
she was made a drill sergeant and for a
year instructed recruits. She was then
sent to Norman, Okla., to the Navy school
for aviation machinist mates where she
qualified. Her last station before her
discharge on December 8, 1945, was at
El Toro, Calif., where she specialized on
propellers. She is working for her Mas-
ter's degree in English at Duke.

Mary E. M. Smith of Rochester, Minn.,
took her nurse's training at Rochester
State Hospital, an affiliate with Cooke
County Hospital in Chicago, and was
graduated in 1939. She worked in sur-
gery until 1941 when she went to Nor-
folk, Va., to work with the British Fleet
Air Arm. After enlisting in the Navy
Nurse Corps as an Ensign, Mrs. Smith
was stationed at Portsmouth, Va., and
Bethesda, Md. At the latter station she
supervised the acute surgical floor. She
was married in October, 1944, and dis-
charged the following month. This was
before the order that married women
could not remain in the Nurse Corps was
rescinded.

After her discharge from the Navy,
Mrs. Smith did personnel work in the
Emergency Hospital in Washington while
awaiting her husband's discharge. He is
now a graduate student in the Duke
School of Forestry where he is working
on his Master's degree. She is a special

Baseball team has 25 games; Seward, Koffenberger, Whiting
make All-Southern honors; Koffenberger breaks Duke individ-
ual scoring record; Lettermen return for track; Lacrosse re-
vived.

The fighting Blue Devils sit on top
of the 1946 Southern Conference basket-
hall heap. Going into the annual Ra-
leigh tournament the second ceded team
and given little chance of taking the
diadem away from Carolina's White
Phantoms, Coach Gerry Gerard's Duke-
men battled hard all the way and brought
back to Durham their fourth conference
crown in seven years.

Duke was all but eliminated in the first
round when they came from behind in
the closing minutes of play to tie North
Carolina State and then go on to defeat
the surprisingly strong Red Terrors in
an overtime period, 44-38. Ed Koffen-
berger, center, was the big gun in the
Duke attack as he poured in 16 points.
Other first-round games went to V.P.I.,
North Carolina, and Wake Forest.

In the semi-finals played the following
night, March 1, Duke overcame a stub-
born V.P.I, team to win again by the
same score, 44-38. Koffenberger's 13
points topped the scoring for the Blue
Devils.

Wake Forest pulled one of the biggest
upsets in tournament history by knocking
out Carolina in a thrilling game, 31-29,
for the right to meet Duke in the finals.

The final round went to the Blue Dev-
ils with comparative ease. Duke pulled
ahead early in the game, led by a big
margin at halftime, and went on to win
49-30. It was the seventh straight year
that Duke had been a finalist in the tour-
nament.

Three Blue Devils won All-Conference
first-team honors with sterling play
throughout the tourney. Ed Koffenber-
ger, the tournament's high scorer with 40
points, was a unanimous choice for the
center position. Bubber Seward, All-
Toumey in 1943, repeated at a forward
spot, and Dick Whiting was named at
guard.

Koffenberger's tournament points
brought his season total to 317 points for

a new Duke individual scoring record. It
topped by eight points the 309 mark set
by Gordon Carver of the 1943 team.
Following Koffenberger in the final scor-
ing column was Seward with 223 points,
Whiting with 215 points, and Dick Gor-
don who tossed in 134. Buck Cheek
scored 109.

Duke's final win-loss record for the
year was 21 victories against six defeats.

Another Duke winter varsity shared
conference honors when the wrestlers tied
U. N. C. for the crown. The Blue Devils
and Tar Heels split two meets with Duke
winning the first and U. N. C. taking the
second by a two-point margin. Two
wrestlers held a perfect record of never
losing' a match all year. Thev were Bill

Leitzinger, who grappled in the 135-
pound class, and Dick Hay, who fought
in the 128-pound class.

For the first time since 1942 the annual
Duke-Durham invitational basketball
tournament was revived by the Durham
Junior Chamber of Commerce and took
place in the Indoor Stadium on March
15, 16, to determine the Southern high
school cage champion. Eight leading
teams from five southern states and the
District of Columbia were invited to par-
ticipate. First-round games went to
Frankfort, Ky., over Durham ; Wilming-
ton, N. C, over Calvin Coolidge of Wash-
ington, D. C; Southern High of Balti-
more, Md., over Granby of Norfolk, 'Va. ;
and Senior High of Greenville, S. C,
over Thomas Jefferson of Richmond, Va.

In the semi-finals Frankfort defeated
Wilmington, and Baltimore defeated
Greenville. The finals and the champion-
ship went to Frankfort over Baltimore by
a 38-32 score. Wilmington rolled over
Greenville in the consolation game.

All ^aWutatKesU

Left to right above Blue Devil players named All Southern are: Ed Koffenberger
(also high scorer in S. C. Tournament), center; Bubber Seward, forward; Dick
Whiting, guard.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, March, 1946

The baseball Blue Devils opened their
season on March 27 against Michigan
State in the first game of a 25 game
schedule. Lefty Lee Griffeth, ace pitcher,
is the only holdover from the 1945 squad,
but several former Duke stars of past
seasons have returned as ex-G.I.'s to
strengthen the team and make prospects
for the coming season the brightest in
many years.

Former Blue Devils Grady Stott, Car-
lysle Groome, and Art Vann make up the
outfield combination. Stott and Groome
were members of the 1943 squad. Roland
Sailer and Ed Little, also members of the
team in '43, hold down the third base and
catching positions. Shortstop, second
base, and first base go to three newcom-
ers— namely Roy Palmer, Jerry Frye,
and Henry Smith.

Tennis prospects are far from bright
with Duke facing its toughest schedule in
history. Not a single letterman returns
from last year's team, and the squad will
be made up largely of freshmen. Coach
Bob Cox has stated that he wanted his
new, inexperienced varsity to play as
hard a schedule as possible as prepara-
tion and experience for next year's sea-
son which will find all of the 1946 squad
returning. Brightest of the newcomers
promises to be Bob Chapman, Charlotte,
freshman, who was one of the leading
high school players in the state last year.

Only a handful of lettermen return to
Coach Bob Chambers' track team. They
are Bill Aumen, Bill Palmer, Dave
Sehenck, Bill Scupine, and several others.
Of the newcomers, the most outstanding
is Jim Davis of Birmingham, Ala., who
was the leading cross-country runner in
the South last fall although it was his
first year of college competition. Davis
also won the two-mile run in the South-
ern Conference Indoor Meet at Chapel
Hill last month.

Lacrosse will be revived this spring
after a layoff of a year due to transpor-
tation difficulties and a shortage of pos-
sible opposition. Five games have been
scheduled against leading teams of the
East.

Spring football has been underway
with a small group of returning lettermen
and a host of returning veterans compos-
ing the would-be 1946 varsity squad.
Prospects are rather bright with a num-
ber of former Duke players already back
or expected to return within the next five
months. The first intra-squad game was
held two weeks ago with Roland Hodges,
starting tailback at the end of the past
season, turning in several brilliant dashes.

Forestry Fellowships

(Continued from Page 57 j

granted the fellowships during the sum-
mer preceding their year of study at
Duke University, in order that they may
become familiar with certain aspects of
industrial forestry, and at the same time
have the opportunity of assembling data
for their theses.

Dean Korstian of the School of For-
estry, in accepting the forestry fellow-
ships for President R. L. Flowers, re-
ferred to this "concrete evidence" on the
part of private industry in the preser-
vation and intelligent use of the South's
forest resources as a "progressive step
that will add to the prestige of Duke's
graduate School of Forestry, and which
will redound to the benefit of both tim-
ber growers and the forest products in-
dustries.''

Union Bag & Paper Corporation,
donor of the fellowships. Mr. Harden-
brook said, is interested in the preserva-
tion and development of forest resources
as it owns and leases large acreages of
forest lands, principally in Georgia. It
also pur-chases vast quantities of pulp-
wood from private timber tract owners
in practically every county of the State.
The Company's Savannah plant, which
employs more than 4,000 persons, manu-
factures kraft paper, kraft board and
kraft bags, and is recognized as probably
the State's largest industrial plant con-
verting a Georgia raw material into the
finished product.

Dr. Wiley Davis Forbus, professor of
pathology, was elected president of the
American Association of Pathology and
Bacteriology at the recent annual meeting-
held in Chicago, 111. Dr. Forbus has been
active in the Association for seven years,
serving as vice-president and member of
the Executive Council. His present ten-
ure of office is three years. Dr. Forbus
was recently awarded a certificate from
the office of the Secretary of War for
his work as consultant to that department
during the war. The certificate expressed
the "appreciation for patriotic service in
a position of trust and responsibility."

Proudly he "hangs out

According

to a recent

Nationwide

survey:

More Doctors smoke camels
than any other cigarette!

Doctors in every branch of medi-
cine ... a total of 113,597 doctors
. . . were asked the question: "What
cigarette do you smoke?"

And more of them named Camel as
their smoke than any other cigarette !

Three independent research groups
found this to be a fact.

You see, doctors too smoke for
pleasure. That full Camel flavor is just
as appealing to a doctor's taste as to
yours . . . that marvelous Camel mild-
ness means just as much to his throat

Camels

The "T-Zone" — T for taste and T for

only your taste and your throat can de-

basis of the experience of many, many
millions of smokers, we believe Camels
will suit your "T-Zone" to a "T."

Manila, P. 1.
April 6, 1946

Finally, at long last, I am happy to report that the end is in sight.
Barring future tidal waves and/or typhoons, it looks as though my
turn for redeployment will come up very close to Easter Sunday.
Would like to request, therefore, that all future copies of the Alumni
Register be sent to me in care of my home address.

By this time, Farrar Babcock undoubtedly has told you all about
our informal Duke get-together on Pearl Harbor Day, 1945. Farrar,
Don Maekay, Ken Thomas and I celebrated the day with an all day
outing to Pigsanjan Falls, one of Luzon's famed tourist meccas. Most
interesting- is the fact that the four of us likewise were together on the
Duke Campus when the outbreak of war gave us our first Pearl Harbor
Day in 1941. Farrar probably doesn't remember this, but it was she
who registered me for Selective service at Duke in February of 1941.

Both Mrs. Swenson and I look forward to an early visit to Duke,
following my return to the States in May. Since the first of the year,
Margaret has been serving as supervising nurse at Iowa Lutheran
Hospital, in Des Moines.

Following V-J Day, things tapered off to a somewhat normal rou-
tine over here. Among other things, I had the privilege of attending
the War Crimes trials of both Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, Tiger of
Malaya, and Lt. Gen. Masahara Homma, instigator of the Bataan
Death March. Their sentences having been executed, these two Jap-
anese generals now reside with their ancestors.

March 4th saw me raised to the degree of Master Mason as a mem-
ber of Batong Buhay Lodge No. 27, Manila. This particular meeting
was significant in that the lodge organ was played officially for the
first time since liberation.

Spent a Sunday afternoon recently by flying around central Luzon
in a B-25 Mitchell bomber, taking pictures and enjoying the scenery.
Having lived among these bombed out ruins for nearly one year now
and covered some 10,000 miles of Philippine travelling via jeep, it was
most interesting to get another perspective from the air.

From : Arthur M. Alpert, B.S.G.B. '41.

April 8, 1946

I have finally returned to civilian life and feel as if I may stay
put for a while; so am writing you with the view of renewing my
connection with the old school.

I find, purely through my own neglect, that I've let lapse my yearly
contributions to the Alumni Fund, and if sent an accounting I 'will
straighten out with you.

I am the class of 1941, degree BS in CE. At present I am in the
process of establishing myself in my office at the above address to do
Engineering and General Contracting.

I would appreciate your sharing this information with the Engi-
neering School in order that I may be replaced on their mailing list.
Thank you.

A one-week cycle of religious and mu-
sical presentations marked the celebration
of Easter Week on the Duke campus.

The Easter program was preceded by
an organ recital by Mildred L. Hendrix,
university organist, on Sunday, April 7.
Mrs. Hendrix offered a program of mu-
sic appropriate to Eastertide and set off
the schedule of over fourteen services.

On Palm Sunday, April 14, Dr. Elbert
Russell, Dean Emeritus of the Divinity
School, delivered a seasonal sermon on
"Onlooker or Marcher in the Triumphal
Entry," in which he likened his listeners
to the vast throngs which greeted Christ

on his entry into Jerusalem on the first
Palm Sunday.

On the afternoon of Palm Sunday the
Chapel choir, under the direction of J.
Foster Barnes, with Mrs. Hendrix at the
organ, presented the Introduction and
Part I, Calvary, of Gounod's "The Re-
demption." This was the first perform-
ance of "The Redemption" at Duke.

Maundy Thursday was marked by the
presentation of a choral communion serv-
ice. Holy Thursday Eucharist, this being
the eighth consecutive season the service
has been held under the direction of Dr.
Hersey E. Spenee. A choir processional,

introit responses, anthems, hymns, scrip-
ture reading's by the dean of the Chapel,
Dr. Frank S. Hickman, and prayers with
responses, were included in the service.
The most impressive feature in the cele-
bration was the unusual lighting effects.
Twenty-five-hundred-eandlepower lamps
in shades of blue, amber and red were
placed behind the altar to simulate dawn,
sunrise, early morning and noon. The
lights were gradually increased as the
organ provided musical sound effects, un-
til the climax of the pageant, high noon,
occurred when every lighting fixture in

At the risk of becoming monotonous, the Register
would like to remind the alumni that the annual 1946
Commencement will be held Friday, May 24, and Satur-
day, May 25.

If you have not already done so, we hope you will begin
immediately to make your plans to be here at that time.
This will be the fifth time that the commencement exer-
cises have been held within a twenty-four hour period.

The emphasis this year is being placed on reunion
classes, but any alumnus returning, whether he be a mem-
ber of a reunion class or not, will receive a hearty wel-
come. Make your plans now to visit the campus during
Commencement.

those who knew him, not only for the ideals and princi-
ples for which he stood, but also for the interest he took
in every worthwhile cause. He will long be remembered
for his leadership and his wise and valuable counsel.

Dr. Frederic M. Hanes, for a number of years a mem-
ber of the faculty of the Duke University Medical School
and the staff of the Duke Hospital, was outstanding for
his interest and support of the University in many ways.
Not only was he interested in the Medical School, but his
influence was felt throughout the entire University com-
munity. He also gave of his time and means in cooperat-
ing with numerous worthwhile civic projects.

A Seo&ie, £aU

It is not often that an institution is called upon to sus-
tain within a short period of less than three weeks the
loss of a loyal and devoted alumnus, and two loyal and
devoted friends and supporters who have contributed in
many ways to the life of the institution.

In the deaths of Dr. C. C. Weaver, Colonel John F.
Bruton, and Dr. Frederic M. Hanes, Duke University
has suffered such a loss.

Dr. C. C. Weaver for many years, as an alumnus and
a minister in the State of North Carolina, had rendered
valuable service to Trinity College, Duke University and
his state. He was a well-known minister and an alumnus
who was always ready to demonstrate in practice his loy-
alty to the institution and its ideals. His many friends
among the alumni and throughout the state heard with
deepest sorrow of his passing.

Colonel John F. Bruton, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees since 1927 and a member of the Board since
1900, had proved himself a loyal friend, supporter, and
counselor in various ways. No task was too great or too
small for him to undertake when it was for the advance-
ment of the institution. He was greatly beloved by all

The loss to the University is severe, but the influence
represented by their deep interest in and loyal support of
Duke University in its ideals and principles will be felt
throughout the years to come.

San&k P. 5buhe MenuvUal

It is the habit of most of us to take for granted those
things that are closest to us. This is true in many in-
stances on the Duke University campus.

It is not, however, possible to accept as the ordinary
the breath-taking beauty of the Sarah P. Duke Memorial
Gardens at this time of the year. Spring has indeed
come to the campus !

Alumni and friends from far and near are enjoying
and appreciating the gardens as indicated by the crowds
visiting them each Sunday afternoon. A visitor com-
mented recently, "The entire campus is lovelier than it
has ever been, and it continues to grow more so as the
years go by."

The Register would like to suggest to alumni who are
planning to visit the University in the near future that
they make a special effort to walk through the Sarah P.
Duke Gardens, if at all possible, while they are on the
campus. We feel sure that they will be well repaid for
the time spent in making such a visit.

soon as possible after being received.

A second recital at 2 :30 Saturday after-
noon will bring to a close the 1946 Com- -
mencement.

Commencement Program
The 1946 Commencement will mark
the fifth time the commencement exercises
have taken place within a period of

twenty-four hours. Commencement this
year will open at 2:00 p.m. on Friday,
May 24, and close with the annual lunch-
eon at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, May
25. The University Board of Trustees
will hold its annual meeting at 2 :00

be heard in a brief message to the grad-

uates. President R. L. Flowers will pre-
side at the exercises and, in addition, will

The Commencement Luncheon, which
will follow the Graduating Exercises, is
always one of the outstanding features of
the entire commencement program. It
will be held this year on the second floor
of the University Union. This is neces-
sary as the University will still be oper-
ating on the accelerated program and all
dining hall facilities will be taxed to ca-
pacity to take care of the students. Re-
union classes making reservations in ad-
vance will be seated together at the
luncheon. Classes holding- reunions will
be '96, '10, '11, '12, '13, '21, '29, '30, '31,
'32, '36, and '45. Because of the unusual
pressure on the dining halls, individual
class dinners will not be held. During the
luncheon, there will be greetings from
the alumnae, the twenty-fifth year class,
and a brief message from the President
of the University. Another feature ,pf
the program will be the election of offi-
cers for the ensuing year for both the
General Alumni and the Alumnae Asso-
ciations. In accordance with past cus-
tom, musical selections will be rendered
by the double quartette of the Men's Glee
Club.

Col. John F. Braton, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the University and
a member of the Board since 1900, died
at his home in Wilson, Wednesday after-
noon, March 27, after a four weeks'
illness.

Born in Wentworth, Rockingham
County, May 29, 1861, the son of David
Rasberry and Margaret Xixon Bruton,
Colonel Bruton was educated at Bingham
school and the University of North Caro-
lina. He held the position of principal
of the first Wilson graded school, and
after studying law returned to that city
where he practiced his profession and
was dean of the Wilson Bar at the time
of his death. He married Hattie Tartt
Barnes on November 15, 1887.

Colonel Bruton was president of the
First National Bank of Wilson from
1S96 to 1932. He was director of the
Federal Reserve Bank for eight years
after its organization, and was a member
of the advisory board of the Federal Re-
serve Bank in Washington, D. C. from
1926 to 1928. In 1931 he was made vice-
president of the North Carolina State
Advisory Banking Commission.

He was colonel of the Second Regiment
of the North Carolina National Guard
from 1893 to 1S9S, mayor of the town of
Wilson from 1894 to 1896, chairman of
the Wilson County board of education,
and for forty years vice-president of the
North Carolina Home Insurance Com-
pany.

He was a member of the American
and North Carolina Bar associations, and
of the Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Beta
Kappa, and Omieron Delta Kappa fra-
ternities. He was senior member of the
board of stewards of First Methodist
Church in Wilson and a teacher of the
John F. Bruton Bible Class in that
church for many years. He was past
grand master of the Odd Fellows, and

Garden is laboratory for plants of this area; Grew from iris
garden; Original plans called for lake.

Each Sunday from early spring to late
fall thousands of people eorne to the
Duke Campus to visit one of the most
beautiful and unusual gardens in this
part of the country. The Sarah P. Duke
Memorial Gardens are unusual because
they serve not only the aesthetic but also
the practical since they are experimental
laboratories in the introduction of new
species of flowering plants, shrubs, and
trees to the Piedmont district of North
Carolina.

Appropriately, the 21st of April or
Easter Sunday marked the eighth an-
niversary of the Gardens as a popular
landmark. Thousands of persons now
travel from near and far to see and en-
joy the seasonal flowering beauty of this
spot, while students and other members
of the Duke University community
throughout the year are daily visitors
who linger long, pleasantly, and profit-
ably in their attraction.

Despite the fame and beauty of the
Sarah P. Duke Gardens, those who
planned the cultivation and care of the
lot are never satisfied. "No garden is
ever completed," said John C. Wister of
Germantown, Pa. (brother of the Author
Owen Wister), who made the original
plans and started with the work. "A
garden cannot stand still; it must go for-
ward. I emphasized that this garden
should not be merely a display of beau-
tiful flowers for the enjoyment of casual
onlookers, but rather should be a great
educational feature of the university to
teach by example the use of many fine
plants which the average person could
himself grow and enjoy. It should be
more than a thing of beauty, it should
serve as a laboratory for all gai'den en-
thusiasts."

The director of the Duke Gardens, Dr.
Paul J. Kramer, associate professor of
botany and plant physiology at the Uni-
versity, explains that the Gardens are
aimed at serving three purposes. First
is the aesthetic. An effort is made to
provide a collection of plants, shrubs,
and trees so arranged and cared for as to
afford the maximum of beauty and pleas-

ure to visitors. Second is practical dem-
onstration and instruction as to the kinds
of plants which can be grown in this re-
gion and of proper methods of planting
and caring for them. Third is the ex-
perimental laboratory or a testing ground
for determining the suitability of new
plants and new cultural methods for
gardens in this section of the country.

In the first plans laid out for Duke
University, the spot where the gardens
are now located was designated as the
place for a lake. But as the idea of a
lake proved undesirable because of a lack
of adequate and continuous water sup-
plies, the spot remained somewhat un-
sightly until the idea of a garden took
shape. The late Dr. Frederic M. Hanes,
Florence McAlister professor of medi-
cine at the Duke School of Medicine, pro-
posed an iris garden and Mrs. Benjamin
N*. Duke supplied the funds for its begin-
ning. But adverse conditions beset the
iris garden, with considerable unseason-
able weather as a contributing element to
failure. Out of this beginning, however,
grew the idea of a formal garden, which
Mrs. Mary Duke Biddle decided to give
to the University as a memorial to her
mother. This work was taken over by
Mrs. Ellen Shipman of New York, and
the Sarah P. Duke Gardens have eome to
be regarded as comparable in beauty and
purpose with many other such memorials
in the country.

During 1936-40 several hundred ever-
green trees were planted; approximately
742 evergreen shrubs; 255 deciduous
trees; 500 deciduous shrubs; 5600 vines
and ground cover plants of 52 varieties
(the names of 23 of these begin with
"Rose"; eight with "Clematis," and two
with "Wisteria") ; 1200 ferns in 9 va-
rieties; 11 new Nymphaea (water lilies)
among the many aquatic and bog plants;
359 Bearded Iris in 51 kinds; 72 Jap-
anese Iris in 24 varieties; 27 Siberian
Iris in 24 varieties; 795 bulbous iris in
16 varieties.

There have been 645 new Aster plants
added to the gardens since 1936; 168
chrysanthemums in 33 different kinds;

131 oriental poppies; and 7978 miscel-
laneous herbaceous plants in 109 varie-
ties. More than 250 kinds of flower seeds
have been grown and used in the beds,
among which there are 23 kinds of del-
phinium; nine varieties of hollyhocks,;
six species of petunias', eight kinds of
pansies; three varieties of lupines; seven
varieties of mysotis; seven of papaver;
and so on, through the list of crocus, scil-
las, chiondoxas, hyacinths, phlox, anem-
one, alyssum, dahlias, iberis, digitalis,
zinnias, salvia verbena, ad infinitum.

Shrubs include rhododendron, azalea,
camellia japonica, kalmia, nandina,
pyracantha, forsythia, virbumum, and
numerous others. Among the trees are
the familiar erabapple, magnolia, cherry,
redbud, pine, hemlock, oak, and others.

During more recent years it was neces-
sary to reduce the number of varieties of
plants used in the gardens due to short-
age of labor, but it is hoped now by those
in charge that the number of varieties
will again be increased and that addi-
tional plantings of shrubs and trees will
be made. Gradual development of adja-
cent wooded areas is planned.

If we may lift a phrase from the pen
of Sinclair Lewis, the valley and sloping-
hills that grew unsightly in the early days
of Duke University may not have been
"a gardeny place" to start with, but they
stand now as a great memorial, not only
to a woman "in whose life were blended
the strength of the soil and the beauty
of flowers," as inscribed on the plaque in
the summer house, but to the generosity
of those who love not only her memory
and the memory of those through whose
efforts the gardens have become a reality
but who love all mankind, and are privi-
leged to express it through the great
glory and beauty of a garden.

Gwin Barnwell, '45, Named
To "Maid of Cotton" Role

The 1946 Maid of Cotton is Gwin
Barnwell, '45. She is now on an extended
tour of the nation, representing the cot-
ton industry. A native of Greenwood,
Miss., Miss Barnwell had just begun a
career as a chemist in New York when

idJai <Jread ajj MeaUclm at ^buhe

Dr. Frederic Moir Hanes, Florence
McAlister professor of medicine in the
Duke School of Medicine and physician
in chief to Duke Hospital, died suddenly
March 25 at his home. He had been ill
since December.

Dr. Hanes was a native of Winston-
Salem, the son of John Wesley and Anna
Hodgin Hanes. He received his A.B.
degree from the University of North
Carolina in 1903, his Master's degree
from Harvard in 1904, and his M.D.' de-
gree from Johns Hopkins University in
190S. He served a year as an intern at
Johns Hopkins Hospital.

He studied in Freiburg and Leipzig,
Germany, in 1905; at the Pasteur Insti-
tute in Paris in 1910 ; and in Munich in
1911. He was associate professor of
pathology at Columbia University from
1909 to 1912 ; he served as assistant phy-
sician at Rockefeller Hospital, New
York, in 1911 and 1912 ; and he served as
assistant professor of neurology in 1912
and 1913 at Washington University, St.
Louis, Mo.

Dr. Hanes was married to Miss Eliza-
beth Phillips Peck of Kentucky in 1913
and returned to Winston-Salem to prac-
tice medicine. He was noted for his con-
suming scientific interest in the human
organisms and his sympathy for his pa-
tients as human beings.

In 1914 Dr. Hanes was an assistant in
neurology at Queens Square Hospital in
London, and from 1914 to 1916 was pro-
fessor of therapeutics at the Medical
College of Virginia.

During World War I he served as a
lieutenant colonel, commanding United
States Army Base Hospital No. 65,
American Expeditionary Forces, in
France. It was in honor of that service
that the Duke University Hospital unit
in World War II was designated Base
Hospital No. 65.

Dr. Hanes studied under and was asso-
ciated with some of the greatest names
in medicine, including Osier, Welch,
Thayer, and Gushing.

He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa,
a fellow of the American College of Phy-
sicians, a member of the Association of
American Physicians, American Medical
Association, North Carolina State Medi-
cal Society, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Nu
Sigma Nu, Alpha Omega Alpha, and the
Clinical and Climatological Association.

Dr. Hanes had contributed numerous ar-
ticles to various medical journals.

He was president of the Security Life
and Trust Company, insurance firm in
Winston-Salem.

As an indication of the interest he held
for Duke University, Dr. Hanes provided
in his will for the establishment of a
large fund for the University to be used
in promoting medical research and teach-
ing. The will instructs that the fund is
to be used for the promotion of the very
highest standards of medical teaching
and for medical research in the broadest
terms.

Surviving are his wife; his mother,
Mrs. John W. Hanes of Winston-Salem;
two sisters, Mrs. Thurmond Chatham of
Winston-Salem and Mrs. Robert Lassiter
of Charlotte; and four brothers, James,
Robert and Ralph of Winston-Salem, and
John of New York.

A special memorial service was held in
the Duke Chapel Wednesday morning,
March 27, at eleven o'clock. At the same
hour, a private service was held in Win-
ston-Salem.

High School Music

Festival Held

At Woman's College

The first Durham District Music Fes-
tival since the beginning of the war was
held at the Woman's College on April 5
with some 1250 junior high and high
school students participating. Musicians
from Durham city and county schools
and surrounding districts represented
their institutions at the meet.

The affair was the preliminary judging
of scholastic artists in both the vocal and
instrumental field and was part of the
statewide contest to culminate in the an-
nual North Carolina scholastic music fes-
tival at the Woman's College of the Uni-
versity of North Cai-olina later in the
spring.

The affair at Duke on April 5 was cli-
maxed by a parade of the five participat-
ing bands originating from East Duke
Building on the eanipus and ending with
a mass concert for the Durham business
district in front of the Hill Building.
There were approximately 300 musicians
in the mass concert.

The Durham schools netted several first

honor ratings and earned the right to
participate in the statewide contests. A

Special guests at the meeting were
members of the Duke Men's Glee Club

who were beginning their spring tour
with the Reidsville performance. The
meeting honoring the Glee Club was pre-
sided over by W. B. Kiker, '09, chairman
of the Alumni Council.

After the banquet and business meet-
ing of the association the Glee Club pre-
sented a free concert for the general pub-
lic at the First Methodist Church. A
large and enthusiastic crowd was present
for the concert. Harold Stephenson, a
member of the double quartet, is a Reids-
ville student.

Miss Marion Kiker, '37, was elected
secretary-treasurer of the association at

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, April, 1946

Beauflosd Marine Jlahabataify ta Open

Unprecedented
Demand Limits
Summer Students

Registration for the
1946 Summer Session will
be restricted because of the
unusual demand for train-
ing during the summer
months. First preference
will be given to veterans,
both graduate and under-
graduate, and especially
those desiring to enter in
the summer and continue
into the fall semester.
Others who will be eligible
for work in the summer
school will be those now
enrolled at the University who remain
for the summer and students from for-
mer summer terms who are already en-
rolled for degrees. Undergraduates from
other colleges cannot be accepted this
summer, and recent high school graduates
cannot be accepted as freshmen until the
September term.

The first of the two scheduled terms
will begin June 27 and extend through
August 8, and the second will begin Au-
gust 9 and extend through August 29.
Instead of the traditional one-hour
courses for six weeks that require the
student to divide his time among three
separate classes, the work of the summer
session is divided into units of three se-
mester hours, each class meeting for
eighty-five minutes daily, five days per
week for a period of six weeks.

No student is permitted to obtain
credit for more than two such courses,
and no instructor teaches more than two.
This gives a student a maximum of 6
hours credit for the six-weeks work.

Courses will be offered in 21 widely
varying fields and departments. Twelve
of these departments will offer work in
both the graduate and undergraduate
field, with the other nine offering work
only in the undergraduate sphere.

Directors of the summer session have
decided to limit the enrollment for the
program so as to provide ample space
and time for returning veterans who de-

sire to continue college and higher work
on a speed-up basis and to facilitate the
continued study of many teachers of this
area for higher degrees. There is a defi-
nite program for those teaching during
the academic year to study during the
summer months for A.M. and Ph.D. de-
gree requirements.

During the war years the university
held during the summer months special
programs for undergraduates that added
an additional semester to the regular
academic year. This was done to meet
Navy requirements in the V-12, V-5, and
R.O.T.C. college programs that called for
no summer recess. Along with this Navy
program the university admitted a new
class of freshmen with the beginning of
the summer, fall, and spring terms.

This year the university will revert to
the peacetime training program with only
one freshman class beginning each year,
with the fall term. Opening date for
the fall term at Duke has been set for
September 19 of this year. At this time
most of the graduate and professional
schools will begin a new academic year
along with the Woman's College, Trinity
College, and the College of Engineering.
This completely postwar semester will be
made possible by the termination of Navy
contracts, which will expire for the V-12
and V-5 programs and which will revert
to a peacetime basis for the R.O.T.C.
program in July of this year.

Work for Higher
Degrees Will Be
Offered at Lab

Plans for the ninth sea-
son of summer work at the
Beaufort Marine Labora-
tory of the Duke Univer-
sity departments of bot-
any and zoology have been
announced.

The program will be un-
der the direction of Dr.
A. S. Pearse, professor of
zoology at Duke; and Dr.
H. J. Humm, resident di-
rector at Beaufort, will
serve as assistant director
for the summer term.
Other members of the staff will be Dr.
H. L. Blomquist of the botany depart-
ment and Dr. Hulda Magalhaes of the
zoology staff.

The summer session at the laboratory
will consist of two six-weeks terms. No
elementary work will be offered; but ma-
rine biology, to be given during the first
six-week term, will be open to undergrad-
uates who have made above-average
grades in the prerequisite courses and
other work. Eight courses on the grad-
uate level will be offered. In addition to
the formal courses there will be ample
opportunity for research in particular
fields and field work necessary for theses.
The Duke Marine Laboratory is located
on Pivers Island near Beaufort. It is
situated just south of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries on the northern tip
of the island. The site was selected be-
cause Beaufort, N. C, was found to be a
place especially well suited for the study
of marine fauna and flora. The Bureau
of Fisheries was established on the island
in 1902 and since that time many famous
biologists have contributed to research in
the area.

The facilities on the island consists of
seven buildings, a dining hall, boathouse,
laboratory, residence, and three dormi-
tories. One of the dormitory buildings is
equipped for married couples desiring to
study together during the summer period.

The Duke Men's Glee Club has re-
cently completed one of the most success-
ful spring tours in the nineteen-year his-
tory of the organization under the direc-
tion of J. Foster Barnes.

The sixty voice choral ensemble was
selected from a group of 135 men. There
were four soloists participating in the
various concerts of the organization dur-
ing its recent tour. Beverly Howerton,
Durham, was featured pianist ; Howard
Tames, of YVinterville, was baritone solo-
st ; and Aldrich Northrup, Pensaeola,

on each concert program.

Highlighting the tour this year was the
eleventh annual nationwide broadcast of
the Glee Club over the Columbia Broad-
easting system from the New York stu-
dios of the company. Prior to the broad-

cast the Duke men gave a concert before
the Duke Alumni Club of Xew York City
and were entertained at a dance given in
their honor. Additional places where con-
certs have been given are Leaksville-
Spray, Reidsville, Southern Pines, Salem
College, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and
other cities in North Carolina.

Prior to the start of the tour the Glee
Club was heard in concert in Page Audi-
torium on the campus March 8. Reper-
toire for the concerts consisted of three
groups of songs by the entire group, a
series of songs by the double quartet, and
four special solos by piano and vocal ar-
tists.

Officers for the group this year are:
Aldrich Northrup, Pensaeola, Fla., presi-
dent ; Jack Logue, Augusta, Ga., vice-
president ; Tom Pace, Pensaeola, Fla.,
business manager; E. H. Xease, Greens-
boro, student director; and Ray Branton,
Vivian, La., accompanist.

Atomic Lecture Given
By Famous Scientist

Dr. Lise Meitner. one of the outstand-
ing international physicists of the time
and a contributor to the development of
the atom bomb, presented a technical lec-
ture on the East Campus, on Monday,
April 15.

Dr. Meitner's subject was : "The Struc-
ture of Matter."

The lecture was sponsored by the Beta
chapter of Sigma Pi Sigma, national
honorary physics society.

Dr. Meitner obtained her doctorate at
the University of Vienna. She left Aus-
tria in 1908 to work as assistant to Dr.
Max Planck in Berlin. Following her
association with Dr. Planck, the woman
scientist attended the Kaiser Wilhelm In-
stitute for about thirty years. Part of
the time which she spent at that institu-
tion was devoted to collaboration with
Dr. Otto Hahn. From this collaboration
many important discoveries resulted,
among them the detection of radio active
elements, chief among which is protoac-
tinium. This element was discovered in
1918. Later Dr. Meitner was appointed
chairman of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
division of physics.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, April, 1946

Dr. Robert L. Flowers, president of the
University, has been appointed a member
of the Board of Visitors to the United
States Naval Academy by President
Harry S. Truman, it has been announced
bv James Forrestal, Secretary of the
Navy.

Four members of the Zoology Depart-
ment were present at the annual meeting
of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science just concluded in
St. Louis, Mo.

The zoology faculty members who at-
tended the meet, each of whom gave a
paper, were Dr. C. G. Bookhout, Dr. I.
E. Gray, Dr. M. W. Johnson, and Dr.
A. S. Pearse.

Dr. Pearse, in his capacity as president
of the American Society of Zoologists,
presided at many of the departmental
meetings.

Doctors L. E. Anderson, P. J. Kramer,
and H. J. Oosting, all of the Duke Bot-
any Department, also attended the meet-
ing and read papers on subjects for dis-
cussion. Dr. Kramer is president of the
American Society of Plant Physiologists
and treasurer of the Ecological Society.

Three members of the Navy officer
complement at the University have left
the campus. Two of them reported to
separation centers and the third was as-
signed to duty at Princeton University.

Lieutenant (jg) Homer T. Wesche,
USNR, and Lieutenant Donald E. Ber-
tholf, USNR, reported to separation cen-
ters. Both of the men were graduates of
Kansas State College and served terms
of active duty with the fleet before com-
ing to the campus. Mr. Wesche served
aboard a landing craft and Mr. Bertholf
was with a motor torpedo squadron.

Lieutenant (jg) Leonard Bersin,
USNR, has been transferred to the Navy
training unit at Princeton. A graduate
of Ohio State University, Bersin had two
years' active duty in the Pacific before
coming to Duke.

Ensign William Francis Gabriel,
USNR, and Lieutenant (jg) James V.
Walker, USNR, have come to Duke to
replace the men who were transferred.

Professor Hornell Hart, of the Sociol-
ogy Department, is author of an article
on "Technological Acceleration and the
Atomic Bomb," which is to appear in the
American Sociological Review next
June. The article presents mathematical
evidence that the introduction of the
atomic bomb is part of a process which
will go on accelerating. This swifter and
swifter growth of destructive technology
is so ominous that the development of
scientific means for grappling with its
accompanying problems is an urgent
neeessitv.

Dr. Newman I. White, chairman of the
English Department, delivered the prin-
cipal address at the March meeting of the
North Carolina English Teachers Asso-
ciation in Asheville. Dr. White, who has
received international recognition for his

Cast Announced for
Final Players Show

Winning the lead in the final Duke
Players' production of the year, Barbara
Seifert of New York City plays Victoria
Van Bret in "Double Door" to be pre-
sented in Page Auditorium on May 2
and 3.

Two other top roles go to Miki Mc-
Dermott, Jackson, Miss., who will appear
as Anne Darrow, and to Loring Walton,
Durham, who plays Rip Van Bret, the
man Anne Darrow marries.

The near tragedy brought on by the_
madness of Victoria Van Bret, the lady
tyrant of the family, is an outcome of
this marriage and the central plot of the
play.

STUDENTS TRY FOR WELDING
AWARDS

Announcement has been made recently
of an award to encourage and stimulate
interest in welding through the prepara-
tion of articles on the subject of welding
by undergraduate students, and dissemi-
nation of such information through un-
dergraduate publications. The award is
known as the "A. F. Davis Undergrad-
uate Welding Awards."

Any undergraduate of any college, uni-
versity, or institute of technology in the
United States, its possessions, or Canada
is eligible. The subject matter of the
paper may be on any phase of any type
of welding or its application to design
and construction. The judging group
will be selected by the Educational Com-
mittee of the American Welding Society.

The awards will be as follows : $200 to
the author of the best paper and $200 to
the publication, $150 to the author of the
second best paper and $150 to the pub-
lication.

The first of a series of articles by Duke
students to be published by the Duk-

Engixeer is "D.C. Welding Generators
and Control Equipment," by Marie
Foote, senior electrical engineering stu-
dent from Mobile, Ala. Her article ap-
peared in the March issue.

JONES SPEAKS TO STUDENTS

Mr. Edwin L. Jones, Secretary-Treas-
urer of the Jones Construction Company,
of Charlotte, and currently President of
the Engineering Alumni Association, re-
cently addressed an engineering assembly
on the part played by his companv in
the construction of the huge atomic-bomb
plant at Oak Ridge, Tenn.

This company has had many large gov-
ernment contracts during the war, and
played a prominent part in bringing the
war to a successful conclusion in a race
against time. This organization built 12
complete camps — the equivalent of 12
cities of over 25,000 population each.
The project for which it is perhaps most
justly proud is the Oak Ridge Atomic-
Bomb Plant. The Jones payroll on this
job alone totaled over 25.000 employees,
with hundreds of civil, electrical, and me-
chanical engineers on the job. Edwin L.
Jones was the general manager on this
job.

An article by Mr. Jones will appear in
the May Issue of the DukEngixeer.

SUMMER SCHOOL
In order to enable returning veterans,
transfer students, and ex- V-12 students
to make up certain courses missed be-
cause of scheduling difficulties, a few en-
gineering courses in general demand will
be offered in the regular Summer School
Session. Courses will not be offered to
accelerate any students, but merely to en-
able them to become as nearly "regular"
as possible. A survey has been conducted
recently to determine what courses were
in greatest demand, and announcements
will soon be forthcoming.

Marine Laboratory

(Continued from Page 93)

The surrounding area is rich in the var-
ious specimens necessary for the type of
work the university departments will
offer.

The station is equipped with running
salt and fresh water and electricity.
There are tanks and aquaria for keeping
plants and animals under observation.
A small dark-room provides facilities for
developing and printing, and books and
other literature will be taken to the plant
from the Duke University library. A
bathing beach is adjacent to the station.

The project for the past eight years

has proven to be one of the most success-
ful summer ventures of the university.
In addition to the work done at the
laboratories, there is ample opportunity
for recreation nearby — fishing, boating,
swimming, etc. An illustrated lecture on
general biological subjects or travel has
been given at the station each week.
Courts for croquet, shuffleboard, and
pitching horseshoes are provided.

There is no charge for tuition at the
summer institute but there are small reg-
istration and laboratory fees in addition
to board and room costs.

Courses may be counted toward work
for A.M. or Ph.D. degrees.

Anton Brees Plays "Dear
Old Duke" for Gov. Cherry

Anton Brees, carillonneur of the fa-
mous Bok Singing Tower at Lake Wales,
Fla., and carillonneur to the University,
played a concert for a group of Gov-
ernors of eastern states assembled in
Florida for a chief executive's meeting.
A special feature of the program was the
playing of Dear Old Duke for Governor
R. Gregg Cherry, of North Carolina. The
Governor, graduate of the class of 1912,
requested the Alma Mater before the con-
cert.

Alumni Meetings

(Continued from Page 91)

A. C. S. MEETING
Twenty-six alumni, faculty members,
and friends of Duke gathered at the
Brighton Hotel, Atlantic City, N. J., on
the morning of April 10. The Duke en-
thusiasts were attending a meeting of the
American Chemical Society being held in
Atlantic City at the time.

There were more Duke people attend-
ing the meeting, but conflicting engage-
ments prevented all interested persons
from attending. Dr. C. R. Hauser, asso-
ciate professor of chemistry at the Uni-
versity and chief speaker at the morning
meeting, spoke on recent happenings
on the campus and brought news of
alumni, especially those who had ma-
jored in chemistry at Duke.

Plans were made to repeat the break-
fast meeting at succeeding American
Chemical Society meetings. Those who
attended this first affair were: J. D. Cal-
fee, J. H. Pearson, D. S. Young, C. K.
Bradsher, R. D. Bright, W. Baumgarten,
C. Baumgarten, C. R. Hauser, B. Webel,
B. Abramovitch, Gretchen Little, E. B.
Avers, C. G. Gillaspie, W. B. Renfrow,
L. Rapoport, Henry Freiser, Lennard
Wissow, J. C. Shivers, James M.
Stuckey, M. J. Weiss, D. G. Hill, W. T.
Miller, Paul Tarrant, Gertrude Vermil-
lion, Phillip Skell, and E. E. Gilbert.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, April, 1946

[ Page 99 ]

Raven I. MeDayid, A.M. '33, Ph.D. '35,
is working as a Field Investigator for the
Linguistic Atlas to be published by the
American Council of Learned Societies.
He has been working with the learned
body since 1942 when he was requisi-
tioned for work in the little-known Bur-
mese tongue in preparation for Army
training programs aimed at facilitating
better relations between the people of
Burma and U. S. service units to be sta-
tioned in that country.

The Linguistic Atlas is an extensive
work throughout the United States and
Canada and its purpose is the better un-
derstanding of various colloquialisms and
dialects prevalent in all corners of the
two nations. There are several investi-
gators working in each field collecting-
material for use in the unusual publica-
tion. Dr. McDavid is working in the
Southeastern area.

In order to get to real and uneor-
rupted dialect Dr. McDavid contacts two
types of people in each community he
enters. The first and basic type is the
old citizen with very little formal train-
ing from whom he is apt to get pure dia-
lect and speech peculiar to that area. The
other type he looks for is the fairly well-
educated middle-aged resident who is in
a better position to give some of the
history and legend that is tied in with
the rise of the speech of the area.

The work in each area will be pub-
lished in six volumes containing approxi-
mately 800 maps showing certain of these
items collected all in a phonetic key that
will be employed by the Atlas. There
will be an accompanying handbook show-
ing how to use the phonetic application,
and the whole will give a general picture
of the dialect of the area and the bio-
graphical facts about the people inter-
viewed.

Dr. McDavid was teaching language at
the Southwestern Louisiana Institute
when he was requisitioned by the Amer-
ican Association of Learned Societies for
war work in Burmese. He was made a
fellow in the National School of Modern
Oriental Languages and Civilizations un-
der the auspices of the Association.
Upon completion of this work he was as-
signed as a technician in the U. S. Army
Language Section of the Army Service
Forces in New York City.

While working at this Army base he
assisted in the preparation of military
dictionaries and spoken language diction-
aries chiefly in Burmese but also in Chi-
nese, Czechoslovakian, Rumanian, and
Italian. He also taught courses in spoken
English to foreigners to be used as in-
terpreters by the Army in the Burma sec-
tion.

Dr. McDavid pointed out that at the
outset of the war scholars of this country
knew relatively little of the Burmese lan-
guage. There were very few native Bur-
mese in the country, and the Army was
faced with a tremendous problem in lan-

guage training so vital in the program
to foster better relations in countries
where American troops were to be sta-
tioned.

In discussing the differences in Army
training programs and college and uni-
versity training programs, he contended
that the Army program was a combina-
tion of all the methods employed by the
progressive institutions and was aimed at
teaching a working, speaking vocabulary
rather than an academic study of the lan-
guage. He felt that the methods learned
in the Army might modify some methods
of teaching, but he felt that the wide
basic differences precluded any radical
changes in institutional teaching methods.

Dr. McDavid had taught at the Citadel,
Michigan State, and had done further
research work at Duke before he accepted
a position on the language faculty of the
Southwestern Louisiana Institute.

Vetenanl Benepi ^am (lltoded,
ScUalatekip, Awandl fab 1947

The first postwar elections of Rhodes
Scholars will be held in December of
1946, it was announced recently. The
Rhodes Scholarships for two years study
at Oxford University in England were
discontinued during the war because of
travel restrictions and other conditions.

In addition to the 32 ordinary scholar-
ships awarded annually from the United
States, there will be 16 extra War Service
Scholarships available for election in
both 1946 and 1947.

The scholarships provide for a period
of two years study at Oxford with the
privilege of extension for a third year.
The annual stipend is 400 pounds sterl-
ing. Since Oxford University has been
approved by the Veterans' Administra-
tion for the education of veterans under
the G.I. Bill of Rights, a Rhodes Scholar-
ship is exceptionally attractive for a vet-
eran because in addition to his benefits
under the above Act he will also receive
his Rhodes stipend of 400 pounds.

To be eligible for ordinary appoint-
ment in 1946 one must be an unmarried
male citizen of the United States not un-
der 19 years of age or over 25 years of
age as of October 1, 1947. Students se-

lected will begin work in the fall of 1947.
Other requirements demand that the ap-
plicant have attained at least Junior
standing at some recognized college or
university, except that as to any candi-
date who has had War Service, Sopho-
more standing is sufficient. For this pur-
pose War Service is defined to include
not merely membership in the Armed
Forces but various types of civilian war
work for which Draft Boards have
granted deferment. As to the War Serv-
ice Scholarships, marriage is not a bar •
and the maximum age limit is extended
by seven years.

A candidate may apply either for the
state in which he resides or any state in
which he has received the requisite col-
lege training. Selection of candidates to
appear before state committees will be
made by college and university commit-
tees prior to November 1, 1946. Further
information may be secured from insti-
tutional representatives of the Rhodes
Trust from one's college or university.
The state secretary of the N. C. Commit-
tee of selection is C. C. Walker, Wacho-
via Bank and Trust Company, Winston-
Salem.

H. Bone, clarinetist and director of the
Duke Concert Band.

The concert was the sixth full orchestra
concert under the baton of Robert Hull
since his arrival at Duke in the Fall of

1943. The last three concerts were played
to overflow crowds, testifying to the pub-
lic's increasing- interest in the orchestra
and classical music.

Composed of over 60 players, the Duke
Symphony is made up of men and women
undergraduate and graduate students,
student nurses, medical students, doctors,
faculty members and their wives, several
townspeople, and advanced high school
students of this area. The general scho-

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, April, 1946

Bad&baU, ^Jiach ^eaml fynbeatett in B9Q

Golf team is undefeated; Tennis team faces tough schedule;
Baseball team has seven victories, two defeats; Track team en-
ters Penn Relays; Lacrosse team is only one in South; Two
pitchers account for diamond wins.

Duke athletic teams have completed
the first month of the current spring sea-
son with great success.

After dropping the opening game of
the season to Michigan State, 5-3 in ten
innings, the Blue Devil baseball team has
copped seven straight victories and goes
into a show-down game with a strong
Carolina nine on April 27.

Coach "Colby Jack" Coombs has come
up with a two-man pitching staff that
has carried the Dukes through so far.
Back from last season is Lefty Lee Grif-
f eth who bore the brunt of the mound du-
ties pitching almost all of Duke's games.
This season Griffeth has received plenty
of assistance from big Hal Stevenson, an
army dischargee from Elizabethton,
Tenn., and the two men have alternated
to give the Blue Devils one of the top
spots in the Southern Conference.

Supporting Griffeth and Stevenson
with some fancy stick work have been
Art Vann, Johnny Muse, and Grady
Stott. Stott is no stranger to Blue Devil
followers for he was a big factor in the
success of the 1942 and 1943 teams. He
has been shifted from his customary spot

in left field to third base duties. The
shift made room for Stu Errickson, a
hard-hitting first-year man who has taken
over Stott's old outfield position.

Centerfielder Vann is also in his first
year as a baseball regular and is the
leading team hitter with a mark close to
.500. Muse is a freshman and returned
GI who played with the freshman foot-
ball team jn 1942 but who was drafted
before the spring sport rolled around.

The present week-end marks another
big event in the track schedule. Coach
Bob Chambers is in Philadelphia with a
twelve-man cinder squad ready for com-
petition in the annual Pennsylvania Re-
lay Carnival. Duke will enter four relay
teams and place men in several indi-
vidual events.

Although weaker than usual in the hur-
dles and sprints, the Blue Devils have
one of the strongest distance and middle
distance teams to represent the Univer-
sity in several years.

Jim Davis, of Birmingham, Ala., and
star cross-country runner last fall, looms
as the best two-miler in the Southern
Conference. Bill Palmer, a fine two-

miler and letterman from 1943, has re-
turned from the wars to give Chambers
two reliable men in the two-mile run.

Chuck Downes, who like Palmer comes
from Baltimore, Md., is turning in some
of the best times run in the one mile in
several seasons. Davis, Palmer, and
Downes will be three of the four men
composing the 4-mile relay team to per-
form in Philadelphia.

Duke opened the season with one-sided
track victories over South Carolina and
Virginia before losing to an exceptionally
strong Navy squad.

Two sports have returned to the Duke
spring schedule after a brief absence as
war casualties. Lacrosse makes its first
appearance in two years, and golf re-
turns after an absence since 1942.

The golfers are Duke's only undefeated
team at the present. With two victories
over Wake Forest and wins over South
Carolina and Clemson the Blue Devils of
the fairways hold a perfect record and
lead the Southern Conference. Next
week Duke meets Carolina in the first of
two matches which should decide who will
finish the season as conference cham-
pions.

Lacrosse gets underway this week-end
when Coach Jack Persons takes his-
squad, packed with Baltimore men, north-
ward for games with Maryland and
Navy. Next week the team invades New

Pictured above are Duke athletes who will face one of their biggest tests of the season this week-end. At the left stand

Art Vann, Jerry Frye, Johnny Muse, Grady Stott, Ed Little, Ed McCarthy, Winston Palmer, Rowland Sailer, and Henry

4-mile relay when Duke enters the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. Left to right: Jim Davis, two-miler; Chambers; Bill

York to face Army and then R.P.I, on
the following day.

Only home match on the schedule will
be May 18 when the Blue Devils play
hosts to Loyola. Duke is fielding Dixie's
only lacrosse team.

Tennis has had the roughest going of
any of the spring sports teams. The
squad is built largely from freshmen who
have had no previous intercollegiate com-
petition. They dropped their first three
out of four matches to Kalamazoo, Wil-
liam and Mary and Georgia Tech. Hav-
ing won from Emory, however, they have
shown great improvement and stand to
cause trouble before the season is com-
pleted.

Spring football practice came to a
close last week with an intra-squad game
which ended in a 6-6 tie between the
Blues and the Whites. Three of last
year's star performers figured in both
touchdowns.

Kelley Mote, All-Southern end, caught
a long 35-yard pass in the endzone to
give the Whites a 6-0 first half lead.
Late in the game, little Roland Hodges,
who last fall moved from the Jayvees to
first-team varsity tailback in two months,
started tossing passes, and he finally con-
nected with Ed Austin in the endzone
three plays before the end of the game
to give the Blues a touchdown and leave
the game deadlocked.

Easter Program

(Continued from Page 82)
the Chapel was turned on. The entire
presentation was in keeping with the re-
ligious theme of the season.

On Good Friday at 7:00 and 11:00
p.m. a choral vesper service, which fea-
tured Jo Stafford, star of radio and of
the "Chesterfield Supper Club," with the
Chapel choir was presented to a throng
of listeners. A program of Easter music
was rendered by Miss Stafford and Stuart
Churchill of the Fred Waring orchestra,
who came to Duke from New York to
participate in the ceremony. Miss Staf-
ford was heard in "Were You There?"
and "Beautiful Saviour" with the choir;
also, in a solo rendition of "The Rosary."
Mr. Churchill was presented in "The
Holy City" and "The Lord's Prayer."

N.B.C. carried the "Supper Club"
program at 7:30 for the East Coast and
at 11:00 for the West Coast and the
Armed Forces.

The Duke Symphony was heard in its
ninth annual spring- concert at eight-

thirty on Good Friday evening. Under
the direction of Dr. Robert Hull of the
music faculty, the sixty-two piece organi-
zation presented a five-part program
which included a clarinet solo by Allan
Bone, also of the music faculty. Music
for the program was selected in keeping
with the Easter season.

An Easter sunrise service was con-
ducted Easter morning on the steps of
the Chapel. Dr. John H. Hallowell, vis-
iting professor of Political Science, pre-
sided over the meditation service, which
included special music provided by stu-
dents of the Divinity School. Arrange-
ments were, under the direction of Rob-
ert DuBose, Director of Religious Ac-
tivity.

Dr. Frank S. Hickman delivered the
Easter sermon at the University Service
of Worship on Sunday morning, April
21 at eleven o'clock. He had as his sub-
ject, "An Open Door."

The cycle of Easter services w7as con-
cluded at four o'clock in the afternoon
with the presentation by the Chapel choir
of Parts II and III of Gounod's "The
Redemption," which deals with the Res-
urrection, Pentecost, and Ascension.

sorry to lose him, but we hope "our loss
will be his gain."

EXCERPTS FROM "LOCALS"
Saturday, January the 25th, will be a
memorable day in the calendar of the
Senior Class. ' On that day Mr. T. S.
Troy invited all his class-mates to his
home near the Park. At 2 :20 a sump-
tuous dinner was served and was heartily
enjoyed by every one. After dinner
speeches were called for but every one
seemed to be "too full for utterance."
Mr. Troy and his kind mother will always
have the thanks of 'f!6.

The Public Debate this year will be
moved from commencement back to its
old time in April. There were several
reasons for this; commencements have
been too long and there is a tendency to
shorten them ; the debaters always had
part in the Commencement proper and
this put too much woi'k on them at one
time.

The debaters for the Columbian So-

ciety are, J. F. Bivins and G. H. Hum-
ber; orator Mr. J. C. Hall.

The debaters for the Hesperian So-
ciety are, S. E. Mercer and O. S. New-
lin; orator Mr. Z. F. Curtis.

The question will be announced later.
The old students in particular and the
public in general may rest assured that
we will have a debate worthy of the Hes-
perian and Columbian Societies, and if
we just had Capt. Daniels, of precious
memory, here to get us up a Field Day
exercise we would feel like we were "in
it" once more.

EDITORIAL

Sam W. Sparger, Chief Editor
Joe F. Bivins, Assistant Editor

In addressing the students a few morn-
ings ago, Dr. Kilgo said : "We are draw-
ing near to the close of the best year of
college work I have ever known." We
believe that he spoke the truth.

No better illustration can be given of
what the college is doing and what she
stands for than the way in which the
students responded to the call for aid in
the Durham library movement. At a
meeting of the student body on the morn-
ing of April 30th, contributions to the
library fund were solicited. The sum of
$100 was asked, but in a very few min-
utes much over that amount had been
subscribed. This was increased by the
contributions of the Faculty to quite a
handsome sum.

The Archive wras especially glad to see
the great interest manifested by the stu-
dents. It showed that the college is with
the people of Durham in this movement,
and has the interest of her people at
heart. The spirit of the gift cannot be
doubted. The students cannot expect to
receive the slightest benefit from the li-
brary, except in the thought that they
have helped in a great work.

We are also glad to learn that the ef-
forts of the leaders of the movement have
met with even greater success in the city.
The poor people as well as the rich are
interested. The working-man, as well as
the millionaire, the mechanic and the fac-
tory laborer, as well as the banker and
the lawyer, are clamoring for the library,
and contribute willingly and freely to
the cause. Where such interest as this
is shown by the masses no movement can
fail, and a public library for Durham is
no longer a question. May she extend
her influence, and may other towns of
the State become aroused to an interest
on this great question — the question of
the public library.

From: Ens. D. G. Dudenhoeffer, '46.

25 March 1946
Shanghai, China

The clay for a change of address has
come and the best of all it is the day of
returning to the States.

Since the end of the war our ship has
been on the repatriation run from North-
ern China to Japan and Korea. In a
way it has been a very interesting expe-
rience. From the Japanese repatriation
duty we went to hauling the new Chinese
Armies from Hong Kong to Chinwan too.
We are scheduled for one more trip and
then we are to head for the States.

In our travels throughout China I had
quite an opportunity to run into quite a
few Duke men. In Shanghai I have seen
Howard Hartley, Jack McCambridge,
Red Hale and Bob Marshall. In Hong
Kong I met up with Len DeVore, Don
Clark and Rey Ashby.

I am looking forward to my return to
the Duke Campus this fall and would ap-
preciate it if you would send me any in-
formation you have concerning register-
ing etc.

From Lt. Kurt Dixon Patience, USMCK '44

21 March '46
Tientsin, China

Recently the Duke Alumni Register has been coming to me quite
regularly, more so in fact than much first class mail which for some
reason has been "taking its time" getting out here. In the January
Register, I read Lt. L. E. Blanchard's letter and he certainly put on
paper the same things that have been going through my mind. I have
had all intentions of writing many times, but my procrastination has
overdone itself to the extent that now I am almost embarrassed to
write. Nevertheless, here goes to pen a short note anyway hoping
you'll excuse my previous procrastination.

Never having heard from me prior to this note I should tell you
a little about myself and my connections with Duke.

I was at Duke from 1 July '43 to 1 July '44 in the Marine De-
tachment of the Navy V-12 program. I was so impressed by every-
thing connected with Duke that I want very much to return there next
Fall and finish my course of studies. Each time I received the Regis-
ter and read about familiar faces and things there at school, my de-
sires to return only increased.

As indicated at the top of this page, I am now in China, but with
luck I will be back in the States and a civilian by 1 June '46. Sounds
optimistic, I know, but the Marine Corps is reducing its forces in
China and I am among those scheduled to leave for home in the near
future.

Duke is well represented in China, too, believe me. It seems in-
credible that so many faces can be familiar out here. Of course, many
are fellows I knew before I arrived at Duke and after I left, but among
those who were in Durham are: J. G. Warren, C. T. Southall, and
Lloyd Blount, all of whom have recently hit the trail for home. But
of those who still remain are John B. Sims, Jim Sims, Dick Morrow,
Charles Shannon, Peter Mitrushi, and Jim Reynolds.

Recently I went to see a basketball game between the Sixth Division
All-Stars and the All Tientsin Officer's team and Duke was represented
on both sides. Harry Harner was a. mainstay of the Sixth Division
team, and big Jack Bush was playing for Tientsin. So you see those
of us who started off in this Marine Corps at Duke have come a long
way from that campus yet still remain within calling distance of each
other. Of course, there are many others that I have missed naming,
but those mentioned are ones I have seen or heard from recently.

Then there is the sad news of the unfortunate death of A. H. Rhett
recently at Tsing Tao, a fellow who also started at Duke. He was
killed in a train accident about three weeks ago.

I landed on October 1st at Taku, China, with the first Marines to
come to North China since the war. Our stay has been unusual to say
the least for we are seeing things that are beyond description. The
"ding hows" etc. that greeted us the first month have died away for
the most part, but these ever curious and generally friendly people
still gather to watch a transaction involving a Marine and a Chinese.

This is just a last-minute reminder. By the time this
publication reaches you, no doubt, you will have already
made your plans to be present at the 1946 Commence-
ment. This will be the last annual commencement to be
held under the accelerated program. The final com-
mencement of the year under the speed-up program will
take place on June 23, and soon thereafter, the first of
July, the University will return to a peacetime basis.

One of the features of the annual Commencement, the
class reunion dinners, will be missing this year. How-
ever, some others which have not been held for several
years will be revived. One of these is the annual Alumni-
Alumnae Luncheon which has always been an outstanding
occasion for alumni. At the luncheon there will be special
recognition of the 50th and 25th year classes, and there
will be a brief report from Dr. Flowers.

porary inconveniences. We feel sure that, as in the past,
the entire student body can be counted on for its complete
cooperation in this emergency.

AdtnUMoal

Never before in the history of educational institutions
has there been such a demand for the admission of stu-
dents. This is equally true at Duke University.

Under present conditions, as has been the tradition in
the past, Duke will do all possible to accede to the wishes
and demands made upon her by the public. She is con-
scious of her responsibility and is already making plans
to accept as many as possible of the applicants for admis-
sion who measure up to the required standards.

The number of qualified men students accepted for
admission in the undergraduate colleges will be limited
only by the available housing, service, and teaching fa-
cilities. A complete survey has been made of the situation
and on the recommendation of the committees, where prac-
tical all dormitory rooms on the West Campus which
formerly housed two men students will in the future have
three occupants. Those which had one student will now
have two. The University, in addition to trying to secure
temporary housing facilities, is assisting students, espe-
cially married veterans, in obtaining adequate living quar-
ters in Durham and vicinity. Additional faculty members
are being added so that all students admitted will receive
academic training and instruction in accordance with the
standards and policies maintained at Duke.

There will be no lowering of the standards of the
quality of training and instruction given. It does mean,
however, that all facilities will be taxed to the limit ; and
students attending the University must accept a few tem-

In accordance with the policy of the University re-
turning G.I.'s, and especially veterans who were former
Duke students, will receive first consideration. They will
be admitted as rapidly as possible to the extent of the
facilities.

These are difficult times in the field of education, but
Duke University is constantly examining her program and
making adjustments so that she may render the most ef-
ficient service to the greatest number of people.

Although classes for the spring term will not be com-
pleted until after June 23, preparations are already being
made for one of the busiest summers ever experienced
at Duke University.

The first term of the Summer Session, which will be
held this year on the West Campus, will begin on June 27
and extend through August 8. The second term will
begin on August 9 and extend through August 29. The
enrollment for the Summer Session will be limited in
order to provide ample space for returning veterans who
desire to continue undergraduate and graduate work on
an accelerated basis and to facilitate the continued study
by teachers in this area for higher degrees.

Every facility on the campus will be extended to the
lin.it in order to admit as many students as possible from
the unprecedented number requesting admission.

The summer session at the Beaufort Marine Labora-
tories will consist of two six-week periods. This is the
ninth annual session at Beaufort.

The Institute for Teachers of Secondary Mathematics
will hold its annual session August 8-17. The Summer
Session is providing special lectures to emphasize the
better teaching of mathematics and phases of application
especially interesting to students at the present time.

The activities of the summer sessions, with those of
the visiting groups and organizations that, are already
scheduled to be held on the campus, indicate that the
Duke campus will be extremely busy during the coming
months.

Annual G&nuuencement at 1/1 niuenAity

Alumni attendance expected to be heavy; Fourteenth gradua-
tion on accelerated program; 302 degrees to be awarded; A total
of 783 degrees awarded for year; Dr. W. M. Depp, Senator C.
R. Hoey to speak.

In just a few more days it will be
Commencement time once more and pres-
ent indications point to a good attend-
ance of alumni and friends of the insti-
tution at Duke's ninety-fourth Com-
mencement to be held Friday, May 24,
and Saturday, May 25.

Many letters are being received in the
Alumni Office from alumni expressing
the expectation of being present for the
1946 exercises. It will be the fifteenth
Commencement since the inauguration of
the Navy and Army programs on the
Duke campus. The coming Commence-
ment will be unique in that it will be the
last annual Commencement to be held
while the accelerated program is still in
effect.

The entire program will be condensed,
as it has been for the past several years
because of the war situation and speed-
up schedule of the University, so that all
the exercises will take place within a pe-
riod of twenty-four hours. In spite of
the restricted time, the essential features
of the annual Commencement will be pro-
vided for; and the program, which in-
cludes the Alumni-Alumnae Luncheon
which was discontinued for several years,
promises to be a thoroughly interesting
one.

Among the outstanding features of in-
terest to alumni is the outdoor reception
in honor of the members of the graduat-
ing classes and their parents, this occa-
sion taking place at 6:00 p.m., on Fri-
day, May 24. This is always an espe-
cially interesting feature of Commence-
ment because it gives an excellent oppor-
tunity for the mingling of the graduates
and their parents with the members of
the faculty and the alumni of the institu-
tion.

The Board of Trustees and the Alumni
and Alumnae Councils will meet Friday,
May 24, at 2:00 p.m. Immediately pre-
ceding the meeting at 12:30 p.m., the

Councils and Board of Trustees will join
in an informal luncheon.

The commencement sermon will be de-
livered by Dr. Walter Mark Depp at
8 :30 p.m., Friday, May 24, in the Uni-
versity Chapel. Dr. Depp is one of the
outstanding religious leaders of North
Carolina, and his message will be heard
with much interest and profit. An aca-
demic procession will precede the ad-
dress, members of the graduating classes
being seated together in the front of the
Chapel.

AH alumni attending Commencement are
urged to visit Class Headquarters in the
lobby of the West Campus Union and regis-
ter as soon as possible after arriving on
the campus.

At 9 :45 p.m., immediately following
the sermon, Anton Brees, internationally
known earillonneur, will give a carillon
recital which will bring to a close the
scheduled events for the day.

On Saturday, May 25, at 11 :00 a.m.,
the graduating exercises and conferring
of degrees will take place in Page Audi-
torium. The Honorable Clyde R. Hoey,
Senator from North Carolina, will speak
to the graduates in connection with these
exercises. Senator Hoey is a well-known
visitor to the Duke campus, and the
alumni and University community always
look forward with pleasure to hearing
him. President Robert L. Flowers will
preside at the graduating exercises and
will bring a brief message from the Uni-
versity to the members of the graduating
classes.

One of the main features of Com-
mencement, as always, is the Alumni-
Alumnae Luncheon, which will be held
this year at 12 :45 p.m., Saturday, May
25. There will be several special features
in addition to the usual program. In
accordance with the custom of manv

years, the president of the University
will speak briefly to the alumni at this
time. Officers of the General Alumni and
Alumnae Associations will be elected for
the ensuing year. The president of the
Alumnae Association will bring brief
greetings, and special recognition will be
given the twenty-fifth year class and
other alumni groups.

The University will award 302 degrees
at the exercises on Saturday morning as
a part of the May Commencement, which
is the official Commencement for the Uni-
versity each year. As a wartime meas-
ure, however, Duke has held four addi-
tional graduation exei'cises since May,
1945. They were held because of Navy
graduations from the N.R.O.T.C. and
V-12 programs. The Medical School held
graduating exercises with the Navy on
June 23, 1945, and a separate' program
on March 23, 1946. In addition to these
dates, graduations were held October 24,
1945, and February 25, 1946.

Including the 302 degrees to be con-
ferred in May, Duke University will have
awarded in the past year a total of 783
diplomas from all schools and colleges.
These were as follows : Doctor of Philos-
ophy, 19; Medical Doctor, 149; Bachelor
of Arts, 259; Bachelor of Science, 108;
Bachelor of Laws, 9 ; Master of Educa-
tion, 9; Master of Arts, 28; Master of
Forestry, 3; Bachelor of Divinity, 47;
Diploma in Nursing, 104; Bachelor of
Science in Nursing, 43 ; and Bachelor of
Science in Medicine, 5.

A number of students completed work
on dates when formal commencement
programs were not held. They will re-
ceive their degrees in absentia. Students
who finished work September 1, 1945 ;
September 8, 1945; January 21, 1946;
January 30, 1946; and May 11, 1946,
fall into this category.

This will be the fourteenth graduation
to be held under the accelerated program,
and it will be the fifth annual one-day
Commencement that has been held since
the beginning of the war. All the col-
leges and schools at the University will
resume operations on a peacetime basis
beginning July 1, and after the June
Commencement there will be only one
Commencement each "vear.

Attest, '24, Appointed
ikaibadon ta High

George V. Allen, '24, has been named
U. S. Ambassador to Iran by President
Harry S. Truman. His appointment was
approved by the Senate, and he has flown
to the world danger spot. His wife and
two young sons will join him soon. They
will make the trip by boat.

Mr. Allen, 42 years old and a native
of Durham, replaces Wallace Murray at
the Iranian capital of Teheran. This po-
sition is rated as a "diplomatic hot spot"
by authorities in the field of world di-
plomacy.

The ambassador's job in Teheran is
mainly that of reporting to the United
States government everything that hap-
pens there of political importance and
keeping the Iranian government in-
formed of American policies and views
on such explosive problems as Iran's dis-
pute with Russia.

Mr. Allen, one of the youngest career
diplomats in the service to be named to
the position of ambassador, entered the
diplomatic service in 1930 after working
as a newspaper reporter for the Durham
Morning Herald and serving as a school
teacher. Since that time he has held

posts in the Far East, the Middle East,
and Washington, D. C.

Immediately after entering the service
of the State Department he served first
in Greece, then in Egypt, and China. In
recent years he has been stationed in
Washington as an expert on Middle and
Near Eastern affairs.

Throughout the war the Duke alumnus
was closely identified with all develop-
ments affecting the vast territory sur-
rounding the Eastern Mediterranean. He
attended all of the Big Three meetings,
in Teheran, Cairo, Yalta, and Potsdam.
During the course of these historic con-
ferences he was closely associated with
Secretaries Hull and Stettinius, and dur-
ing the current United Council sessions
has been a close adviser to Secretary
Byrnes.

Mr. Allen was graduated from Duke
with the class of 1924 with highest hon-
ors. He has visited here several times in
recent years, once to address the Faculty
Club of the University. Shortly after
the announcement of his appointment he
visited the campus.

bassadors. He was recently named Ambassador to Iran, world political hot spot,
by President Harry S. Truman.

H. E. Cox Named
Administrator for
Atlanta District

Henry Eugene Cox, '17, has been
named Assistant Deputy Administrator
of the Veterans Administration Branch
Xo. 5, Atlanta, which embraces five
southeastern states in supervision of the
vast program of government benefits to
more than 1,250,000 veterans.

Announcement of the appointment was
made by John M. Slaton, Jr., Deputy
Administrator, who selected him for this
important post after Cox had served,
since late 1945, as director of coordina-
tion and planning for YA under Slaton.

Mr. Cox is a veteran of both world
wars. In his new post he will serve as
second in command of the Atlanta branch
office administering veterans' affairs in
the states of South Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida.

A native of Xorth Carolina, Mr. Cox
attended Duke University and later re-
ceived an LL.B. from the Atlanta Law
School. He was granted a certificate as a
Certified Public Accountant in 1924 and
was admitted to practice before the Geor-
gia Supreme Court in 1936.

His business career includes service
with the Income Tax Unit of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, auditing and ac-
countancy work with a number of private
firms, and the regional managership of
HOLC, a post he held for five years.

During the war he served successively
as Real Estate Director of the Fourth
Service Command; Assistant Engineer,
Caribbean Defense Command; and Chief
of the Interior Division, German Special
Staff Section, Supreme Headquarters,
American Expeditionary Forces. Later,
he served as head of the U. S. Component
of the Supreme Headquarters AEF Mis-
sion (Netherlands) for Civil Affairs.

His first world war experiences in-
cluded two major offensives as a lieuten-
ant of Infantry.

Mr. Cox is married and has three
children. He lives at 9 Demarest Ave-
nue, X.E., Atlanta, Ga.

^luiteei Announce Plani fato Piapaled
Zwjtn&e/Uncf fcuilAi+Uf on Wait Gamp,u&

Will take care of 400 undergraduates; Present enrollment is
285; Will be colonial architecture; Three stories; Laboratories
will be complete; Site is northeast of Chapel.

Plans for the construction of a new
building' for the College of Engineering
were announced, following a meeting of
the building committee of the board of
trustees held on the campus on Wednes-
day, May 1.

A meeting of the executive committee,
presided over by J. A. Bell of Charlotte,
chairman of the board of trustees and ex-
offlcio member of the executive commit-
tee, was held on Wednesday morning. In
the afternoon, members of the building
committee and Benjamin F. Few, trustee,
of New York City, came together for
consideration of the plans submitted for
a new building for the College of Engi-
neering. The new plant will be the ini-
tial step in the proposed building pro-
gram for the University. The project is
expected to cost several million dollars.

Plans for the new plant show a design
comparable in size to twice the capacity
of the four engineering buildings now in
use on the East Campus. The new build-
ing will be located on West Campus,
northeast of the Chapel, and will, imme-
diately upon completion, be turned over
for occupancy to the College of Engi-
neering of which Prof. William H. Hall
is dean.

"It is my opinion," said Dean Hall,
"that when this building is completed
and equipped, the facilities of the Engi-
neering College of Duke University will
be comparable to those of other leading
engineering plants and institutions in
this country."

The new building will be designed to
take care of 400 undergraduate students,
as a maximum figure. There are now 285
students above the freshman level in the
Engineering College, 73 per cent of
whom are either veterans or Navy men.
Records show that for the past few se-
mesters students of this college, exclusive
of Navy V-5 trainees, have included
over 40 per cent of the Navy trainees at
Duke University.

Located somewhat apart from the
buildings of Gothic architecture on West
Campus, the new unit will be colonial,

and will be designed to meet the specific
needs of the College of Engineering. The
building itself will be three stories high,
with slate roof, and a total volume of
1,200,000 cubic feet. The front, or main
section, will be 250 feet across with a
depth of 50 feet, and will have three
wings or sections extending to the rear,
each 100 feet long and 45 feet wide. Each
of these wings will house special equip-
ment and facilities for the study and
training of students enrolled in the three
departments of the school, electrical,
civil, and mechanical engineering.

The main division will house offices for
the deans, chairmen of the three depart-
ments, and other faculty members. There
will be laboratories, and a large lecture
room built especially for motion pictures
and slide lectures. On the main floor
will be drawing rooms and class rooms.
Every provision for the proper care and
training of both men and women students
will be provided.

The second floor of the main division
will have a number of offices for the fac-
ulty and class rooms. Four drawing
rooms will be included in the plan, beside
the necessary student lockers. A special
library, with stack rooms sufficient to
house 20,000 volumes, will be adequately
equipped and maintained. The reading
room will have a capacity sufficient to ac-
commodate 48 students. The walls will
be lined with shelves for books and at
least 200 bound volumes of periodicals.
There will be a dark room and space for
blue prints. A freight elevator will run
from the basement to the attic.

The ground floor of the wing section
to be occupied by the electrical engineer-
ing department, of which Prof. Walter
J. Seeley is head, will contain electrical
laboratories, including machinery, indus-
trial electronics, and high voltage. The
main floor will house the circuits labora-
tories, electric measurements, transmis-
sion, radio, communications, and elec-
tronics.

In the Civil Engineering Department,
headed by Prof. Harold C. Bird, the

ground floor will contain laboratories for
sanitation, soil, cement, concrete, highway
materials, two strength material labora-
tories, and surveying equipment. On the
main floor there will be stress analysis
and photo-elastic analysis.

The Mechanical Engineering Depart-
ment, with Prof. Ralph S. Wilbur as
head, will occupy a wing section equipped
with a miniature power plant, using
highly super-heated steam, planned to
give students the chance to demonstrate
the possibility of power plant operation
and to make complete tests of power
plants. There will be a large staff work
room, a computation room, and various
laboratories for light machinery experi-
ments. This department will have an in-
crease in the internal combustion engine
section of the laboratory and there will
be provided increased and ample space
for hydraulic experiments.

National Law Fraternity

1943 until he was
reported missing on
June 29, 1945, in a
B-29 raid over Oka-
yama, Japan, has
been declared dead
as of that date. Tom
was a bombardier-
navigator in the
5Sth wing of the 20th Air Force. He
had flown a few missions from India
when he was transferred to Tinian and
had completed five missions over Japan
when he volunteered to replace a hos-
pitalized bombardier on a night mission
over Okayama. The plane was never
heard from. Tom was a first lieutenant
and wore the Air Medal and a distin-
guished unit citation. He is survived by
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Everett H.
Wells, 800 Arlington Dr., Birmingham,
Mich.

Since then he has
been stationed at Great Lakes; Gulf port,
Miss.; and at the Radio Material School
in Washington, his present station.

Hambleton Slingluff, Jr., '37, who en-
tered the Navy in April, 1941, died
at sea on October 13, 1943, according to
word received by the Alumni Office re-
cently. Hambleton was serving as a quar-
termaster 3/C on a mine layer, the LTSS
Weehawken, in the Atlantic theatre when

simultaneously in English, French, Ger-
man and Russian. He heads a group of
over 255 persons. He has been loaned by
the Navy for the period of the trials and
will remain after the court procedures
are cleared up to straighten the records.
Anticipating discharge from the Navy,
Commander Steer was in Washington to
see about buying surplus property for
the shipping business he was planning
when he heard of the need for transla-
tors. Prior to the war he was an in-
structor at Washington & Lee. He is co-
editor of "Readings in Military German,"
a textbook which was used extensively in
naval and military schools and colleges.

Enrollment will exceed prewar years by 400 students; Former
Duke men to be given preference; University to be on one
schedule for first time since before war; Housing problem looms;
Number of afternoon classes to be increased.

The University is making every effort
to admit as many returning veterans as
possible from the many applications that
have been received, it has been announced
by H. J. Herring, dean of Trinity Col-
lege.

According to present estimates Duke
will have a record high of 2200 men en-
rolled in the undergraduate colleges with
the beginning of the fall semester in
September. This figure exceeds the pre-
war enrollment peak by 400 students.
First priority is being given to men who
left Duke to enter the armed forces and
second priority is being given to other
veterans and a quota of recent high
school graduates.

To give students currently enrolled the
opportunity to retain places in Septem-
ber and to secure definite information
which will enable the Committee on Ad-
missions to fill as promptly as possible
all vacancies, administrative officials have
requested that matriculation of under-
graduate men now enrolled be completed
by May 10. Applicants for the summer
session and the fall term will be given a
limited time to confirm reservations in
classes and dormitories.

The undergraduate summer session this
year will be limited to men now enrolled
at the University who desire to continue
work on a speed-up basis and those who
wish to begin training in the summer
months and continue through the fall and
spring semesters of next year. Because
of the demand of these two groups, stu-
dents who wish to attend Duke during
the summer only will have to be rejected.

At the present time, in addition to stu-
dents now enrolled who have registered
for the summer session, there are 160 un-
dergraduate men, all former G. I.'s, who
have already been accepted for summer
work. There is also a large number of
former students who left because of serv-
ice calls and other service men whose ap-
plications are to be considered. Many
will have to be placed on the waiting list.

Including 250 former Duke men who will
be readmitted for the first time in Sep-
tember, the University will have approxi-
mately 1000 of its pre-war students re-
enrolled for the fall semester.

Even7 effort is being made to accom-
modate as many recent high school grad-
uates as is possible under prevailing con-
ditions.

For the first time since the Navy V-12
program was organized, the Woman's
College and the men's undergraduate col-
leges will operate on the same schedule.
This will allow facilities on both cam-
puses to be used more efficiently and will
help in the arranging of faculty sched-
ules. Classrooms on both campuses will
be taxed to the utmost. Admissions will
be kept within limits of instructional and
service facilities. The number of after-

noon classes at the University will be
decidedly increased.

To help take care of the increase in
students dormitories will be used to the
fullest extent. Where practicable rooms
originally planned for one occupant will
house two and those planned for two will
house three. Through this temporary
measure it is hoped to accommodate be-
tween 1800 and 1900 undergraduate men
on the West Campus. The housing sit-
uation is more acute than the 400 in-
crease indicates as the dormitory on the
Woman's College campus that was occu-
pied by engineering students before the
war has been converted into a woman's
dormitory, and all engineering students
have been moved to the West Campus.

University officials are attempting to
obtain temporary housing for undergrad-
uates, especially married veterans. Every
effort is being made to assist students in
securing adequate living quarters in Dur-
ham and vicinity.

Additions are being made to the teach-
ing and administrative staffs to take care
of the increased enrollment.

Forty-four men who were eligible for
initiation into Phi Eta Sigma, national
freshman scholastic fraternity, were ini-
tiated at a ceremony on May 9.

Of the 44 men initiated 23 were se-
lected on the basis of one semester's work
which began last November. The other
21 were elected on the basis of two se-
mester's work either at Duke or other
accredited colleges.

Eight of the men making the distinc-
tion are returned service men attending
Duke under the G-. I. Bill of Rights.

Tyler Garret son Kaus, freshman from
Rye, N. Y., and Frank Rinard Trechsel,
Jr., from Birmingham, Ala., were tied
for top honors among the freshmen be-
ginning last November at the University.

NEW BUILDING TO HOUSE ENGI-
NEERING ON WEST CAMPUS !

A new engineering building — the
dream of nearly every engineering alum-
nus— is finally to become a reality! For
the first time in the long history of engi-
neering at Duke, a building is being de-
signed by engineers for engineers. The
entire engineering faculty pooled its
ideas in the planning of a suitable physi-
cal plant.

The increased capacity and facilities,
as well as the more advantageous ar-
rangement, should do much to add to the
efficiency and effectiveness of the College.
The West Campus location without doubt
will offer many advantages to both stu-
dents and faculty.

The May issue of the DukEngineer is
carrying a special section devoted exclu-
sively to the new building. Detailed in-
formation can be found elsewhere in this
publication.

FACULTY SPONSORS RECEPTION
FOR ENGINEERING VETERANS
On May 5 the faculty of the College of
Engineering sponsored a reception for
all engineering veterans (including wives
of those who were married) in the ball-
room of the West Campus Union. It was
an informal affair and provided an op-
portunity for both veterans and faculty
to meet on an "out-of -class" basis.

There are now approximately 132 en-
gineering veterans on the campus. Of
these, 39 are married and have their
wives in Durham.

carrying the second in a series of articles
on welding written by students trying
for the "A. F. Davis Undergraduate
Welding Awards." The current article,
"Welded Homes for Millions," was writ-
ten by Lee M. Ragsdale, Jr., senior civil
engineering student from Knoxville,
Tenn.

These awards were described in greater
detail in the April issue of the Alumni
Register.

Medal job 2>Jdfatf4udAeci EeMuce

Colonel John D. Langston, '03, has re-
cently retired from active military service
after serving in the amiy through two
wars. A native of Goldsboro, he was
awarded the Distinguished Service Medal
bronze star, by Major General Lewis B.
Hershey, Director of Selective Service.
Col. Langston was Assistant Director of
the Selective Service System.

"Colonel Langston has occupied a most
unusual place in the Selective Service
System," General Hershey commented.
"With the fundamental tenets of vision
he brooked no compromise, but, in inflexi-
bility of detailed application he demon-
strated to a remarkable degree, the ca-
pacity to combine in one individual the
objectives of an idealist and the applica-
tion of a realist. His broad experience
during World War I, his deep under-
standing of human nature, his tireless
energy, and his continuing concern for
the future of his nation made his contri-
butions to personnel procurement plan-
ning for two decades outstanding."

Colonel Langston was first identified
with Selective Service in 1917, as chair-
man of the District Draft Board for
Eastern North Carolina. Late that same
year he was commissioned as a major,
infantry, and placed in charge of the
North Carolina Selective Service organi-
zation. His work there brought him to
the attention of Provost Marshal General
E. H. Crowder, the World War I director
of Selective Service, who appointed him
Chief of the Classification Division in the
national headquarters. For his work
there, Colonel Langston was awarded the
Distinguished Service Medal.

After the war Colonel Langston re-
sumed his legal practice in Goldsboro.
From 1922 to 1929 he was owner-pub-
lisher of the Goldsboro Morning News.
He was a member of the Goldsboro school
board for 21 years, and member of many
committees and conferences by appoint-
ment of the Governor of the State. In
addition to these duties, however, he re-
tained his post in the Officers' Reserve
Corps, with the rank of Lieutenant Col-
onel, and became one of the key planners
of the Selective Service System under de-
velopment during the peace-time period
by the Joint Army and Navy Selective
Service Committee.

Colonel Langston returned to active

duty in 1940 to undertake, as General
Hershey described it, "a unique and out-
standing part in the organization and op-
eration of the Selective Service System,
for during the formative period of the
System, he was chairman of the Plan-
ning Council, and he organized and ad-
ministered the Presidential Appeals
Board, which decided more than seventy
thousand appeals."

J. C. Kilgo' s Library
Added to University
Collection of Volumes

The private library of the late Bishop
John Carlisle Kilgo has been donated to
the Duke University Library by his chil-
dren, Mrs. Edna Kilgo Elias, J. Luther
Kilgo, Mrs. Bailey T. Groome, and John
C. Kilgo, Jr. Dr. Kilgo was a former
president of Trinity College.

The library collection is estimated at
over 2,000 books, the preponderance of
which are of a religious nature and will
find their way into the Divinity School
Library. Hundreds of manuscripts are
also included in the Kilgo library.

The collection is an excellent repre-
sentation of ministerial and religious
works and includes many excellent vol-
umes. Although several of the books are
duplicates of those already in the li-
brary, they are very welcome as addi-
tional copies have been impossible to pro-
cure and the Kilgo collection will aid
materially in meeting the constant de-
mand for extra copies.

The library will be distributed accord-
ing to subject category and will not be
housed as a special unit. Special book-
plates will be pasted in each volume be-
fore it is circulated.

Dr. Kilgo succeeded John Franklin
Crowell to the presidency of Trinity Col-
lege in 1894. In his inaugural address
he made mention of the Trinity library.
"We must enlarge our library," was his
statement, and to this end he worked for
a larger and better-equipped college li-
brary. At the 1900 commencement, Dr.
Kilgo was able to announce that James
Buchanan Duke had donated money for

Ad Waltime MlilianoAiel ta China

(The following letter is such a vivid
personal picture of the life of a wartime
missionary to China that the Register
publishes it unedited. It was written by
Mrs. Lucia Walker Smith, '37, who is the
wife of E. Walter Smith, '36. Pictures
of the children mentioned in the letter
may be found on the Sons and Daughters
Page of this issue. — Editor.)

"We went to China in the Fall of 1940
and had the privilege of a tour of Japan
on the way to Peking, in North China
where we expected to study the National
language for a year. The gathering
clouds of war prevented but a few weeks
of study; and we moved on to South
China, where we had been assigned to
work by the American Board (Congrega-
tional).

"We made the journey by stages, first
by coal boat to Shanghai, waited there a
month and then by freighter to the south-
ern coast of China. Foochow port was
blockaded by the Japanese so we were
put ashore on the coast far to the north
of the city, and we made our way over
very high mountains after four days of
hard walking.

"Our first year in Foochow was hectic.
We knew nothing of the language, and the
Foochow dialect is one of the most diffi-
cult to learn of several hundreds of Chi-
nese dialects. We struggled along with
it, helped by a none too competent
teacher. We had been there only a few
months when the Japanese army occupied
the city after three days of intensive
bombing. We lived through a most ter-
rible famine made by a corrupt govern-
ment in a place of natural plenty. The
Japanese withdrew from the city a few
days after the birth of our first child,
and then came Pearl Harbor three
months later.

"When Ted was four months- old, we
moved into the country. Our command
of the language had become adequate
enough to travel alone. For two years
we lived in a village high in the moun-
tains where there were no other white
people, no doctors, nurses, or medical
facilities. It was the happiest part of
our ministry in China. When we ex-
pected our second child, I had to move
back to the city while Walter continued
to work in the country, coming home to

us for one week in six.

"We should have remained in China
until the summer of 1945 ; but due to a
very tense military situation, we were
strongly advised by the Mission and the
Consul to get the children out while we
could. So in June of 1944 we started
the weary trek across China. Ted was
almost three; and the baby, Margaret,
was only eight months. We traveled by
horse cart, river boats, truck, and plane
picking it up as we went along. We man-
aged to stay a day's jump ahead of the
Japanese army by traveling early and
late and snatching food when we coidd.
We flew over the Hump to India, trav-
eled across India by rail to Bombay
where we waited in misery for transpor-
tation to the United States. For six
weeks in India during the monsoon sea-
son we wondered if we would ever live
to get home. Margaret contracted im-
petigo and had to be hospitalized in order
to cure it for I had amebic dysentery

and was unable to care for her. Ted had
acute tonsillitis for 30 days with con-
tinuous fever. Walter nursed him and
me and lost thirty pounds in the process.
When we finally obtained passage on an
American troop transport to the U. S.,
I had lost 45 pounds.

"Then we spent thirty-five days on
ship board via Australia to San Diego.
It took us months of good food and rest
to recover from the effects of a 25,000
mile trip which we made from China in
five months. The day we landed in San
Diego the newspaper headlines announced
that Foochow had once more fallen to
the Japanese. Our own home was occu-
pied by the officers of one of the gar-
risons.

"We are all in excellent health now,
as you see by the pictures of the chil-
dren; and we are packing now to go
back to China in the late summer. Ci-
vilian traffic to the Far East has not been
resumed fully so we will go with only
hand luggage. We have no household
goods or anything left out there; but,
America has made us young again and
we are ready for anything. This time
will be much easier for we have many
friends we are anxious to see again, and

Spotlight; We've Onactlae ^bu/uHfy Wat

Golf team has only one loss to State to mar three-year record;
Lacrosse team faces tough opposition; Has lost 3 out of 4; Re-
ceives recognition from U. S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Associa-
tion; Baseball team points for Big Four pennant; Intramural
and Varsity track in home stretch.

Two of Duke's minor sports, both of
which were resumed this spring after a
lapse of several years, have come in for
quite a bit of spotlight play during the
past month. They are golf and lacrosse.
The golf team, led by Frank Garrett
of High Point, won its first four matches
of the season before being upset by N. C.
State, 17-10. The Blue Devils had pre-
viously licked the State team 22-5. The
loss to the Raleigh school snapped a
three-year winning period for Duke in
which the Blue Devils had won 16
matches and tied one without a loss.

It was Duke's first setback by a college
team since L.S.U. turned the trick back
in 1940. The first four victories of the
season were registered over Wake Forest
(twice), State, and South Carolina.

The team is made up of Garrett, Bruce
Davis, Tallahassee, Fla. ; Luke Smith,
Rome, Ga.; Bill Rankin, Charlotte; Bill
Doig, Packanack Lake, N. J.; Frank
Aiken, Griffin, Ga. ; and Les Brooks,
Charlotte.

The lacrosse team took the spotlight in
losing three out of its first four games.

Coach Jack Persons had mentioned be-
fore the season opened that Duke could
have a fine team and still lose all of its
games. He had a good reason. The
Blue Devils had scheduled five of the
leading teams in the nation for opposi-
tion.

The team, monopolized by Baltimore
players, Avon its first game of the season
against Maryland, 12-4, in what was
called one of the biggest upsets in la-
crosse history.

The victory received much praise in
publicity releases from the U. S. Inter-
collegiate Lacrosse Association.

One release stated, "Duke isn't looking
for any kind of championship this year,
but the Blue Devils from Durham ought
to be given some award for courage."

The release went on to explain that
the Blue Devils had scheduled Navv and

Maryland in one week-end and Army and
R.P.I, on the following week-end. An-
other release paid tribute to the Blue
Devils for helping break the monopoly
which the state of Maryland has held on
lacrosse as demonstrated by the victory
over the Old Liners of Maryland.

After the Maryland win, Duke went
down in order to Navy, 7-3, R.P.I., 12-4,
and Army, 18-10.

The Blue Devil baseball nine enters the
stretch drive for the pennant of the Big
Four League. Surprisingly enough, it
has been N. C. State which has been the
biggest threat to Duke for the champion-
ship rather than North Carolina. All

four teams in the race are stronger than
last year.

On April 22 Bob Houghton returned
to join the Duke mound staff after a
year's absence, and his presence has
greatly aided the Dukes in the title drive
as his return gave Duke two top-notch
pitchers to go along with mediocre hit-
ting and fielding. In his first start after
only one week of reconditioning, he beat
Wake Forest, 8-2.

Houghton, from Berryville, Va., is re-
membered as the hurler who pitched a
no-hit game against N. C. Pre-Flight in
1944 in addition to two victories over
North Carolina. After his transfer with
the Marine Corps from the Duke campus,
Houghton joined the pitching ranks of a
marine base team in California where
he hurled against the U.C.L.A. collegians
and struck out 20 men. He also worked
several innings of an exhibition game
with the professional St. Louis Browns.
(Continued on Page 126 )

Dressed in togs unfamiliar to the Durham section of the country are five members
of the Duke lacrosse team which has been named the most courageous stick team in
the nation by those who watched the Blue Devils pull the biggest upset in lacrosse
history in defeating Maryland and forcing Navy before losing 7-3.

Left to right the lacrosse men are Ray Brown, Olin Gilbert, Harry Sutton, Mack
Johnston, and Tom Gorsuch. Johnston is from Durham. All other four are from
Baltimore, Md.

two semesters at Duke. Highest average
of any transfer who has completed two
semesters' work was made by James
Burns McClements, III, Pittsburgh, Pa.,
who finished one semester at the Univer-
sity of Richmond before entering Duke
last November. He had an average of
2.823 on a basis of work at both institu-
tions.

"All these men are examples of stu-
dents who combine personal drive and
self discipline with thorough and sound
preparation," said Dr. Alan K. Manches-
ter, faculty adviser for the group.

Coach Bob Chambers' track team met
Carolina in Duke Stadium on May 11 in
a show-down meet in preparation for the
Southern Conference meet held in Chapel
Hill on May 18. Duke and Carolina are
regarded as the two strongest track teams
in the conference.

Prior to that meet Duke had defeated
Virginia, South Carolina, and Charleston
Xavy while losing to the strong Xavy
team.

On April 27, the Blue Devils sent a
limited team to Philadelphia for the
Penn Relays, and they came home with
two fourth places in the mile and four-
mile relays. Bill Simons pulled down a
third place in the individual race, the
400 meter hurdles, and Jim Davis fin-
ished in the top ten in a field of over
50 men in the two-mile run.

Composing the mile relay team were
Roger Neighborgall, Loren Young, Bill
Scupine, and Doug Ausbon. Teamed for
the four-mile race were Davis, Bill Pal-
mer, Curt Brown, and anchor man
Chuck Downes.

The tennis team, which one month ago
was off to a poor start, had won three of
its last four matches on May 10. Wake
Forest had been beaten twice, The Cita-
del once, and the loss was to North Caro-
lina. The defeat by the Tar Heels saw
Bob Taylor, an Alexandria, La., fresh-
man, lose his first and only match of the
season after five straights wins. Taylor
plays in the number four spot for Duke.

On April 17, the Y.M.C. A. -sponsored
intramural track meet was held in Duke
stadium with the Kappa Alpha frater-
nity winning top honors by finishing 2%
points ahead of Hampden-Sydney's in-
dependent entry and Kappa Sigma
which was in third place.

Kappa Alpha was victorious in the
440-yard relay, and Pi Kappa Alpha
won the 880-yard relay.

Letters

(Continued from Page 113)
The Chinese customs are strange, very
strange in many cases, yet over a period
of time we have come to understand them
and take them for granted, and the Chi-
nese people in turn have learned to ac-
cept the Americans favorably. The fact
that they all think every Marine is a
hearer of a large part of the U. S. mint
is beside the point, I guess. We heckle
them and they kid us, and in the end
usually both parties part none the worse
for wear.

A few sailors make their way up here
to Tientsin, but so far I haven't seen a
familiar face among- the Navy personnel
here. I guess most of the fellows I would
know are on the ocean somewhere and
don't take time out for shore liberty.

Just recently Don McGuire joined this
Regiment and was assigned to the Regi-
mental S-2 office. He came to Duke a
term or so after the rest of us but the
fact still remains that he makes just one
more Marine in Tientsin who has been
to Duke.

This was supposed to be just a note,
and here I am at the bottom of the sec-
ond page, so before I make any more
mistakes on this typewriter, I shall close
hoping I see you next Fall if not sooner.

Kilgo Lib

(Continued from Page 123)

a library building for Trinity College.
The building was completed in January,
1903, and on February 23 of that year
was formally dedicated and opened.
Walter Hines Page, Ambassador to the
Court of St. James during the first
World War, made the dedicatory address.
Shortly after the opening of the library,
Mr. Duke made a donation of $10,000 to
Trinity for the purchase of books. This
was followed by a second donation and
soon the library collection was an im-
portant one.

All through his life, until he died in
1922, Dr. Kilgo expressed a vital interest
in the Library and in books. It was Mrs.
Kilgo's wish that his collection be housed
at Duke. Upon her death, her children
concun-ed in this wish and presented the
collection to Duke.

we will be able to speak the language.

''Walter's work, when we were there
before, was that of country evangelist:
much of his work done through touring
into the mountains where people have
never seen white men, nor heard the Gos-
pel, and still ask, 'Is it true that the
earth is really round?' When we go
back, our work will be somewhat different
for Walter has been invited by the Union
Theological College of Fukien Christian
University to become a member of its
facility. This is a union institution of
the Methodist, Congregationalist and An-
glican churches. Last year Walter at-
tended the language school of Yale Uni-
versity so that he is fairly well equipped
with the Chinese national language and
the Foochow dialect to do any task that
the Chinese Church requires of him.

"We are looking forward to getting
back to work, renewing friendships, get-
ting under the load with those noble folk,
the Chinese Christians, who carry on at
such a great sacrifice. It is a privilege
to work with them.

"Walter has been speaking in the
churches all over the United States since
he finished his work at Yale. We have
been living here close to Boston, the
headquarters for the American Board,
since January. In July and August we
will finish up the packing, and get all the
'shots' necessary for living in the Orient
and be on our wav to the West Coast."

... I have only been over here in India just a short time, but I
have already lost the feeling of being in contact with the rest of the
world. We only get mail about three or four times a month and then
it is so slow getting here.

The main job to be done in this theater is disposing of the huge
quantity of surplus supplies. I only hope that the job is done in time
for me to be among those at the '46 Homecoming. At this stage of the
game I am beginning to doubt if that will be possible, but you can
never tell.

My brother, Bob, has been sending me the Chronicle for the past
few months, and it seems that Duke is fast returning to the pre-war
routine of life. That is the clay I am waiting for.

I am sorry to say that I have not yet run into any ol' grads out
this way, or maybe I should say that it seems that no one else is quite
so unlucky as I to be stationed in India. However, the life here isn't
fuch that you don't have fun and quite a few grins. I am rooming
with a boy from Nebraska, and for the past week or so we have been
using our imagination and lots of ingenuity to work wonders on the
room. At least we think they are wonders, but you might not agree.

I think that I sent you a change of address card, but in ease I
didn't the address on the envelope is correct. I haven't received a
Register since September, and I do long to see another.

From Russell H. Patton, Jr., S 1/C (ETM) "46

I have just received my first Register today after an eight months'
lapse probably due to my frequent changes of address. It was quite
swell to receive news of dear old Duke especially when I'm looking
forward to being back on the campus this fall.

Lately our ship was repatriating Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese.
After that duty was completed, we transported several groups of the
various Chinese armies from southern and central China to Manchuria
and north China. At the present we are prejjaring to carry medical
and food supplies of the UNRRA from Shanghai to Hankow, China.
This will be our second run up the Yangtze River, but this time we
will go up the Yangtze farther than Hankow which is 600 miles inland
(by river).

This ship will be engaged in helping to alleviate the critical food
shortage in the Yangtze Valley until January of '47. However, I will
be screened soon and I should be separated from the service by June.
I am enrolled for the fall term at Duke and will continue my studies
towards a A.B. in Business Administration.

In case I have a later address than your records, here is the address
of Pvt. James B. Leary, 38722948, 4th Platoon, Co. A, 1149 SCU,
1004-A, Yale Station, New Haven, Conn. He is serving in the Army
and is enrolled in the Japanese language school at Yale University.

QootLatl ItckeU

On June 1 the Alnmni Office mailed to each alumnus
whose address was on record in the office a letter calling
attention to a new plan for the sale of football tickets for
home games of the 1946 season. The Athletic Association
is inaugurating this plan so that it can distribute tickets
in the fairest and most efficient manner.

For a number of years the demand for tickets to Duke
home games has gradually increased, and this year, ac-
cording to all indications, the demand will reach an all-
time high. Alumni will be given the first opportunity to
purchase both season books, which will enable the holder
to have the same seat for all home games, and individual
tickets. The letter, folder, and other materials which are
already in the hands of every alumnus are self-explana-
tory, and we suggest that, if you have not already done
so, you mail your orders for tickets immediately to the
Athletic Office.

Go-mmenoztne+it

The 1946 Commencement was generally regarded as
one of the best yet held, despite adverse conditions, such
as strikes, the transportation situation, and other present-
day difficulties. The attendance was smaller than it
would have been under normal conditions ; however, this
was expected and the limited attendance was compensated
by the interest and enthusiasm of those attending.

Alumni are urged to put down the date right now on
their calendar of engagements and be here. Be sure to
make your plans well in advance of November 2.

Although it was impossible for all the classes to have
special meetings, the 50th year class was the guest of the
Alumni Office at a breakfast Saturday morning, and the
members of the class, along with the 25th year class,
received special recognition at the Alumni-Alumnae
Luncheon.

The luncheon on Saturday, which was limited in at-
tendance because the students attending classes on West
Campus taxed to the limit the dining hall facilities, was,
accordiug to those present, one of the most enthusiastic
and pleasant occasions of its kind. It is hoped that the
1947 Commencement Luncheon can be held in the larger
dining halls so that all alumni who desire to attend will
have an opportunity to do so.

Jj-o-mecQ-mtiKf

The College of Engineering alumni are planning to
have their annual Homecoming on Saturday, October 5,
the day of the Duke-Tennessee game.

Alumni ActUutieA,

The Alumni Office has been an extremely busy place
for the past twelve months, and because of the interest
evidenced by the Councils in the report made of the
alumni activities, we would like to direct attention to some
phases of the alumni program in which we think alumni
and friends of the institution would be especially interested.

We are not calling attention to these activities in a
spirit of boasting and complacency, for we realize that
there is still much to be accomplished. It was through the
cooperation of all the alumni, and especially the officers
of the Alumni and Alumnae Associations and the Coun-
cils, that this program was made possible.

PuoUoatixu^i

Everything points to a Homecoming Saturday, Novem-
ber 2, the day of the Duke-Georgia Tech game, that will
set a new record for such occasions at Duke.

The Alumni Register, which is published monthly,
has a circulation of approximately 5,500 copies. Of this
number, several hundred are mailed to newspapers, high
school libraries, and friends of the institution ; and more
than a thousand copies are sent without charge to alumni
the first twelve months after they leave the University in
order that they may become familiar with the work of the
General Alumni Association and keep in close touch with
their fellow alumni and the University.

The Alumni News, a four-page printed folder, is
mailed at least four times a year, more often when occa-
sions justify it, to all alumni who do not receive the
Register. The purpose of this news letter is to keep the
alumni informed of the activities being carried on by the
University and the Alumni Association, and, like the
Register, to knit more closely the bonds between the
alumni and the University on one hand, and their fellow
alumni on the other. It also helps the Alumni Office to
keep its mailing files up to date.

The Register, news letters, and other mailings help to
stimulate the interest of alumni which is evidenced by
the gradual increase in the number of annual contribu-
tions. Although this increase is most gratifying, we must
have many more, among which there must be a number of
larger gifts, or the alumni program must necessarily
suffer.

(Other phases of the alumni program will appear in
future issues of the Register.)

Two-hundred-eighty degrees awarded; Dr. Walter Mark Depp
delivers Baccalaureate Sermon; Alumni and Alumnae Councils
meet; University Trustees elect new officers; Fifty-year class
has breakfast meeting.

Two-hundred-eighty degrees were con-
ferred at the ninety-fourth annual com-
mencement held on the campus May 24-25.
Principal speaker for the exercises in
Page Auditorium on Saturday morning,
May 25, was the Honorable Clyde R.
Hoey, Senator from North Carolina, who
spoke on the chief problems confronting
this country in the economic and political
fields. The exercises were presided over
by President Robert L. Flowers, who in-
troduced Senator Hoey. The Baccalau-
reate Sermon was delivered in the Duke
Chapel Friday night, May 24, by Dr.
Walter Mark Depp, pastor of Centenary
Church of Winston-Salem.

The two-day commencement program,
the fifth of the year, began at noon Sat-
urday with a joint luncheon for the mem-
bers of the Alumnae and Alumni Coun-
cils and the Board of Trustees. Separate
meetings of the organizations took place
immediately following the luncheon.

Friday afternoon at six o'clock a re-
ception honoring the graduates, their
families, and their friends was given on
the East Campus. Members of the ad-
ministration and the general faculty re-
ceived the guests at the reception. The
traditional flag lowering exercises took
place at the East Campus flagpole at
seven o'clock.

The Baccalaureate Sermon was deliv-
ered in the Chapel at eight-thirty o'clock
following an academic procession of the
graduating classes. Dr. Depp's subject,
"The Unmastered Light," was based on
a text taken from the first chapter of
Moffatt's translation of St. John. The
address is remembered by those who at-
tended the commencement as one of the
highlights of the program.

A special feature of the program for
reunion classes held in connection with
commencement was the breakfast meeting
of the class of 1896, the fifty-year class.
It was presided over by J. H. Separk,
class president, and special guest of the
class was President Flowers, who brought

a brief message of welcome and con-
gratulations. The invocation was given
by F. S. Aldridge, former Duke pro-
fessor and a member of the class. Orchids
were presented to the three living women
members of the class, who, along with one
other, were the first coeds to attend the
University on a full academic standing
with men. (For full particulars see page
145 of this issue of the Register.) Car-
nations were presented to the men. Sec-
retary B. W. Rogers was requested to
send minutes of the meeting to absent
members of the class, and the following
officers were elected: J. H. Separk, presi-
dent; R. A. Mayer, vice-president; B. W.
Rogers, secretary; and Miss Annie Pe-
gram, treasurer. There were eleven mem-
bers of the class present at the breakfast,
and two more joined them at the general
alumni luncheon.

One of the largest crowds to attend
graduation exercises since the beginning
of the war was on hand at the awarding
of degrees and the address by Senator
Hoey in Page Auditorium at eleven
o'clock Saturday. President Flowers,
who conferred the degrees and presented
the diplomas to the two-hundred-eighty
candidates, brought a brief message of
congratulations from the University.

Immediately after the formal exercises
the annual alumni-alumnae luncheon was
held in the graduate dining hall of the
University Union. There were two-hun-
dred-fifty alumni present at the luncheon,

which was the first to be held since 1944.
The class with the largest representation
at the luncheon was the class of 1921 with
a total of twenty-two members wTho were
back to celebrate their twenty-fifth re-
union. The program, which was presided
over by B. Everett Jordan, retiring vice-
president and rising president of the
General Alumni Association, in the absence
of retiring president R. A. Whitaker, '10,
of Kinston, included : the singing of
"Dear Old Duke"; the invocation by Dr.
W. A. Stanbury, '08 ; special music by
the Triple Quartet of the Men's Glee
Club, led by J. Foster Barnes; greetings
from the alumnae by Mrs. Elise Mims
Walker, '03, retiring president of the
General Alumnae Association; a message
from the twenty-fifth year class (1921)
by the class president, Charles W. Bundy
of Charlotte; introduction of Mr. James
A. Bell, '86, oldest alumnus present, and
Drs. A. W. and M. T. Plyler, '92, second
oldest alumni present; introduction of
Mrs. Merthel Greenwell Womble, '45, and
W. H. Pegram, '06, alumni who had trav-
eled the greatest distance to attend com-
mencement (Mrs. Womble came from
Dallas, Tex., and Mr. Pegram came from
Houston, Tex.) ; the presentation of mem-
bers of the fiftieth-year class, who were
asked to stand in a body ; the presentation
of the reports of the nominating commit-
tees, and the election of officers for the
General Alumni and Alumnae Associations
for the coming year; and a message from
President Flowers.

Officers elected for the General Alumni
and Alumnae Associations for the coming
year were: Alumni Association, B. Everett
Jordan, '18, Saxapahaw, president; Amos
R. Kearns, '27, High Point ; Paul L. Sam-

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, June, 1946

[ Page 141 ]

Three new officers of Duke University
were named at the annual meeting of the
Board of Trustees on the University cam-
pus Friday afternoon, May 24. Willis
Smith, '10, prominent Raleigh attorney
and president of the American Bar Asso-
ciation, was elected to succeed the late
Col. John F. Bruton, of Wilson, as Chair-
man of the Board: and Herbert J. Her-
ring, '22, dean of Trinity College, and
C. E. Jordan, '23, secretary of the Uni-
versity, were elevated to positions as
vice-presidents of the University. They
will continue in their former positions in
addition to their new duties as vice-
presidents.

Alex H. Sands, Jr., of New York, sec-
retary of the Duke Endowment and a
member of the Board of Trustees of the
Duke Endowment, was elected a new
member of the Board of Trustees of the
University. He was at the same time
elected a member of the University Ex-
ecutive Committee.

In addition to the election of the new
officers of the University, the Board of
Trustees approved the action of the Ex-
ecutive Committee in granting degrees to
students who graduated at interim e.orn-
mencements during the 1945-46 academic
year. It also approved degrees for 280
candidates to be conferred by President
R. L. Flowers at commencement exercises
on Saturday morning, Mav 25.

Other routine business taken care of at
the annual meeting of the body was the
re-election of Dr. Flowers as president
of Duke and Dr. W. H. Wannamaker as
vice-president and clean of the Univer-
sity. James A. Bell, vice-chairman of the
Board, presided over the meeting and was
renamed vice-chairman for the coming
year. C. A. Dukes was named director
of alumni affairs.

Resolutions in memory of the late Dr.
H. R. Dwire, vice-president and member
of the Board prior to his death, and the
late Dr. J. H. Barnhardt, also a member
of the Board, were adopted. Appointive
committees were instructed to draw up
resolutions in memory of the late Colonel
Bruton, and Judge W. R. Perkins, a for-
mer member of the Board.

Joseph Gurley Is Winner
Of 1946 Mathematics Prize

The Julia Dale mathematics, prize,
given annually at the University, has been
awarded this year to Joseph Gurley, a
senior from Richmond, Va. The prize
consists of a set of books purchased from
the funds subscribed by friends of the
late Miss Dale, teacher of mathematics.

Gurley is the son of Mr. Revere B. Gur-
ley of the United States Patent Office,
and Mrs. Gurley of Richmond, formerly
of Washington, D. C. He is a graduate

of the Thomas Jefferson High School of
Richmond, where he won second place in
the state chemical examination for a
scholarship to William and Mary College.
Gurley 's paper in the competitive exam-
ination for the Julia Dale prize was ad-
judged by the committee as one of the
best submitted in the series throughout
the years.

In his sophomore year, Gurley was
elected to Phi Eta Sigma, honorary
scholastic sophomore society, and in his
junior year to Pi Mu Epsilon, honorary
mathematics fraternitv.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, June, 1946

Collection off Qea^^ia A feiadpa peld Qivel
Backcfiound and Colon, o^ Cwil Wok yeafoi

Are part of Flowers Collection in Duke Library; Traffic prob-
lems were part of life even in 1853; Headlines are scarce in
early papers; Returns on election of Lincoln are given; Adver-
tisements tell something of life during 1860's.

Traffic problems, politics, wars and
rumors of wars are nothing new to the
newspaper editors of the nation, judging
from the volumes of Georgia newspapers
recently added to the Flowers Collection
of Southern Americana in the Duke Uni-
versity Library.

The bound volumes of weekly and daily
papers from Columbus, Ga., covering the
period of transition for that section of
the country from 1853 to 1885, have been
added to thousands of other copies of
Georgia periodicals, pamphlets, and man-
uscripts of historical value. The useful-
ness of newspapers and periodicals is
enhanced because they give first hand
information and on the spot color to
researches studying that period of Amer-
ican history.

The papers in the recent collection
mark only a fraction of the Georgia news-
papers in the Duke Library. Others date
as far back as 1785 and represent 69
cities throughout the state.

The Columbus papers are particularly
interesting because they show a represent-
ative cross section of the style of journal-
ism in the early days, and they bring a
particularly interesting view of the pre-
lude to the Civil War. The modern
reader of the morning paper of this coun-
try would not recognize the 1853 counter-
part of his favorite breakfast companion.
There are no flashing headlines on the
front page to facilitate reading. As a
matter of fact, there is no news on the
front page at all. More than half of the
cover page is devoted to advertisements
of Sheriff Sales, Administrators Sales,
Executors Sales, and long lists of reasons
why old Indian formula potions should be
included in every carpet bag.

Front page reading matter is devoted
to the satisfaction of the literary tastes of
the readers. In one copy of the Colum-
bus Times published in 1853 there are
semi-literary articles on "The Dying Sage
of Marshfield," which is a vivid descrip-

tion of the death bed of Daniel Webster;
Lepers in Jerusalem; and an Indian fic-
tion piece, "The Noble Sanota."

Editorial comment of some local polit-
ical import is usually relegated to the
lower right hand column of the front
page. What is now the main body of the
newspaper, foreign and domestic news
brought in by wire, is condensed neatly
into a column on the inside pages labeled
simply "Telegraphic." By comparison
the news is similar, what with the bare
quorum in Congress, the yellow fever
plague at Port Au Prince, and raging
flood waters in the Ohio Valley. All news
of foreign countries is printed under the
shipping news, since vessels landing in
Georgia seaports were chief sources of
outside information.

Some idea of the printing plants of
early newspapers is to be found in the
advertisements of the paper. The presses
were run by steam power which was con-
sidered the acme of the machine age. A
new and modern steam engine had re-
placed the old model and the publishers
were advertising the outmoded piece as an
invaluable aid to any farmer interested
in modernizing his plantation.

Traffic problems in the 1850's were not
whollv unlike those of today as is illus-
trated by the following front page poem :

"If a buggy meet a buggy
Comin' Down the street,
Is it right to run together
When these buggies meet?
Every Driver has Irs failings,
They're but men at last,
But comin' up or going down
Should they drive so fast?"

A feature article much similar to those
of today explained the shocking fact that
women had resorted to the application of
goats milk, lettuce juice, asses milk, gly-
cerine, cream camphor, poltices, arsenic,
find even chemical masks to improve nine-
teenth-century complexions. The rising

fad of the use of rouge was shocking the
populace and inciting the wrath of doc-
tors of the time.

Also on the lighter side of the news
was a very serious account of a Georgia
state court fining a railroad company on
45 counts for not ringing the engine bell
at rail crossings. The Erie Railroad was
the culprit and the fine in each instance
was twenty dollars. Avery's sewing ma-
chine, unmatched in quality, was on sale
at twenty-five dollars, and advertisements
offered rewards for runaway slaves and
cattle.

One of the first foreshadowings of the
coming tragedy of the 1860's is a re-
printed editorial on the inside of one of
the four-page editions of the Columbus
Times. The article had been copied from
the New York National Democrat, and it
compared the low wages and the unde-
sirable working conditions and the re-
sultant starvation of the northern factory
system to the plantation system of the
southern farmers. The northern journal
endorsed the admitted black slavery of
the South against the underhanded and
cruel white slavery of the lower working-
classes of the North.

The paper changed little in makeup
during the period of transition from
peace to war. In 1859 indications of the
seriousness of the situation of slavery and
states rights were at hand when the news
switched from literary pursuits to ac-
counts of speeches of southern leaders
made in national and state assemblies.
Accounts of the coming rift gradually
moved to the front page, and accounts of
the attack at Harpers Ferry by John
Brown, told by an accomplice, J. E. Cook,
began to inspire typesetters to move into
size larger headings for the articles.

On December 19, 1859, the entire front
page of one paper is devoted to the text
of the message to Congress by President
Buchanan. The President expressed the
hope that the Harpers Ferry incident
had forestalled the impending civil war,
and he outlined the government's policy
in the fight against the influx of addi-
tional slaves from Africa.

In the field of finance the President
pointed out that the Government had
spent a total of $83,751,511.57 during the

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, June, 1946

[ Page 143 ]

preceding- fiscal year. The Treasury was
left with a surplus of $13,891,879.61.

The war of words against northern in-
terests began to wax hot with the coming
of the 1860's, and a reprinted editorial
from the Atlanta Intelligencer admon-
ished the men of the South to "forget the
Union and draw the sword." The pro-
ceedings of the national democratic con-
vention held in Charleston, S. C, were
carried in detail and the platform adopted
contained the following planks: (1) Con-
gress has no right to abolish slavery, (2)
territorial legislatures have no right to
abolish slavery, (3) the party recom-
mends the acquisition of Cuba from
Spain, and (4) the party endorses the
construction of the Pacific Railroad.

As the nation went to the polls to elect
a new government Congress was com-
posed of the following members : Senate,
38 Democrats, 25 Republicans, 2 South-
ern Oppositionists, and 1 vacancy ; House
of Representatives, 133 Republicans, 91
Democrats, 23 Southern Oppositionists, 8
Anti-Lecomptonists, and 2 vacancies. The
South was beginning to fear the candi-
dacy of Douglas more than Lincoln, but
an Alabama Congressman, Thos. H.
Watts, came out with the startling state-
ment that "if Lincoln were elected, the
Union should be dissolved."

Almost immediately accounts appeared
of counties in the state coming out in
favor of secession and of the entire state
of Alabama advocating such a move. The
election returns began to come in and the
first vote conceded the victory to Lincoln
with 169 electoral votes against the 76 of
Breckenridge, choice of the South and
Lincoln's nearest competitor. The final
count gave Lincoln 180 and cut Brecken-
ridge to 72. Immediately the first of a
long series of advertisements exhorting
men to join the "Southern Guard" ap-
peared on front pages. Descriptions of
the Confederate flag began to appear in
almost every issue.

The break came with the April 22,
1861, account of the bombardment of
Fort Sumter. The motto of the Colum-
bus Times, which had been "The Union
of the States and the Sovereignty of the
States," immediately became "The Sov-
ereignty of the States." The story of the
bombardment brought a box score of
rounds fired by each side in the first skir-
mish of the Civil War. Fort Sumter
(Union Army) had fired 46 "ineffective
shots" and Fort Moultrie (Confederate
Army) had fired 42 "well placed rounds."
The etiquette of war had been carried out
to the maximum with the exchange of
letters between Major Robert Anderson,

USA, commanding Sumter, and Brigadier
General G. T. Beauregard, CSA, com-
manding Moultrie.

Advertisements began to take on a mili-
tant air, and local haberdashers adver-
tised the complete wardrobe of the patri-
otic soldier. A column was devoted to
news from Montgomery, the Confederate
capital, and long lists of local company
rosters were published.

In May the capital of the Confederacy
was moved to Richmond and battle ac-
counts of the first stages of the Civil War
began. The picture of wartime life of
the Southern community is both vivid and
informing, but through it all runs the
pride of a new nation and the nostalgia
for the "good old days."

The Flowers Collection, of which the
newspapers are a part, was established
in 1924-25 by the late W. W. Flowers,
brother of President R. L. Flowers. The
Collection was given in memory of his
father, Colonel G. W. Flowers. Since
that time, contributions of funds and
material have been added by all members
of the Flowers family; and at the present
time the number of books, pamphlets,
newspapers, and manuscripts range in
the hundreds of thousands. Acquisition
and selection of items was first under the
direction of the late Dr. William Kenneth
Boyd, Trinity College Librarian, and is
now under the direction of Dr. R. H.
Woody, Associate Professor of History
at Duke.

Farm of Washington Duke was home of tobacco industry;
"Factories," spring house, other buildings are still standing;
University took over care of historic site in 1931; Rooms and
furnishings remain as they were during lives of owners.

The Duke Homestead, which has been
closed much of the time in recent years
because of travel restrictions, was opened
to visitors Sunday, May 5, and will be
open each Sunday during the summer.

On the afternoon of June 3, 1935, im-
mediately following the 83rd annual
Commencement the late Col. John F.
Bruton, for many years chairman of the
Board of Trustees, presided as the late
Judge W. R. Perkins of the Board of
Trustees accepted the Homestead as a
gift from Mrs. Mary Duke Biddle. It
was her wish that the birthplace of her
family be retained by the University and
be readily accessible for all who might
wish to come and see the origin of one
of the South's chief industries.

A visit to the Duke Homestead, birth-
place of the tobacco industry, is a trip
into the past. Here, in the center of
a 146-acre tract, stands the original
homestead and outbuildings in which
Washington Duke and his family founded
one of the greatest commercial enter-
prises in the world. This old homestead
is also the place from which sprang one
of the greatest philanthropies the coun-
try has ever known, the Duke Endow-
ment.

Most of the historical background of
the Duke family is known to Duke
alumni. How, by studious application
and industry, Washington Duke started
his tobacco business with capital assets,
consisting of only two blind mules and
fifty cents in "good" (yankee) money and
a family who was anxious to help, is a
fireside tale. But a visit to the Home-
stead reawakens old, forgotten tales of
the time and causes people to wonder
anew at the courage, the acumen, and the
great good fortune which took the Dukes
out of rural Alamance County into the
highest economic and social strata.

The modest building known as the
Duke Homestead was for twenty-five
years the home of Washington Duke and
his children, Mary, Benjamin Newton,
and James Buchanan. Washington Duke's

wife, the former Aurelia Roney, spent
only six years here. Her death in 185S,
when James was an infant, was tragic
and untimely.

The original house stands today just as
it was built in 1851. It is a six room
structure of hand-dressed heart pine
boards. When Duke University took
over its care in 1931, six coats of paint
had hidden the original beauty of the
carefully dressed wood. This paint was
scraped off to reveal the original splen-
dor of the old wood.

The primary plan of the house did not
include the kitchen which was added as
the family increased. The old well house,
a weathered crib, and the third of the
Duke tobacco "factories," still stand in
the yard. The factory where Washington
Duke and his sons hand-flailed the first
smoking tobacco can be viewed about a
hundred yards northeast of the Home-
stead. This landmark was restored by
the University with the original logs.
The third factory, two curing barns and
a pack barn, together with the house and
outbuildings, comprise the Homestead to-
day. In addition, the spring house, lo-
cated some distance from the home, and
a favorite picnic site can be seen.

The elm trees which line the drive were
planted by the University in an effort to
retain the acreage in the same pastoral
mood in which Washington Duke found
it. The boxwoods which border the path-
way to the house were the gift of Flora
Macdonald College in Red Springs.
They came from the W. B. Robeson
plantation in Bladen County.

The interior of the two-story home is
a mecca for persons interested in an-
tiques and furnishing of the pre-civil war
and reconstruction period. Many of the
original pieces are there and others in
keeping with the time have been donated
by interested friends in an effort to keep
the Homestead contemporary with the
period in which it was built.

Donors to the finished and charming
effect of the Homestead include Mrs.

John Williams and Mary Duke Biddle;
R. Y. Cooke, of Charlotte and later Chi-
cago; Bertha Thompson of Durham;
Helen E. Lance, Elon College; Mrs. Fred
Hanes, Winston-Salem; James A.
Thomas, former Duke trustee of White
Plains, N. Y. ; Mrs. Bayard Carter, Dur-
ham ; the late Mrs. J. E. Stagg, for-
merly of Durham; George Cooper of
the Brown and Williamson Tobacco Co.;
Mrs. R. L. Flowers, Durham; Jacques
Busbee of Steeds; Mr. and Mrs. W. M.
Ervin; and Mr. and Mrs. William Hal-
loway; and the St. Joseph AME Church
of Durham.

During- the summer season a guide is
on the premises from 2 :30 until 5 :00
every Sunday afternoon, weather permit-
ting, to explain the history and highlights
of the Homestead as an accommodation
to the thousands of visitors who visit this
historical site.

In 1939 almost 9,000 persons visited
the Homestead. In time of the war re-
striction, even though the Homestead was
opened only at rare intervals, more than
1,000 visitors found their way down the
Duke Homestead Road, the dirt road
which connects the Guess and Roxboro
Roads and the road on which the Home-
stead is situated, to visit the birthplace
of the tobacco industry.

The visitors' book represents travellers
from near and far who have come to
Durham to see the Homestead. In the
most recent volume are the names of
sightseers from Cristobal, the Canal
Zone; London, England; Toronto, Can-
ada; Seattle, Wash.; San Diego, Calif.;
Austin, Tex.; Tucson, Ariz.; Mantoto,
Minn.; Chicago, 111.; and other distant
spots.

Dunn Leaves Duke

Albert W. Dunn, '43, Durham, an Army
Air Corps veteran who returned to Duke
last October to complete the requirements
for his degree, leaves this month follow-
ing his graduation to accept a position
with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com-
pany in Akron, Ohio.

Al, since his return to Duke, has been
helping with the editorial work of The
Alumni Register. The Register staff
wishes him success in his new position.

FIRST WOMEN RECEIVE
ENGINEERING

DEGREES

Two women received the B.S. in Elec-
trical Engineering degree at the June
Commencement, marking the first time in
the history of engineering at Duke that
women have completed the required work
for a degree.

Marie L. Foote, of Mobile, Alabama,
entered the Woman's
College at Duke,
but transferred to
Electrical Engineer-
ing at the end of her
freshman year. In
addition to making
Phi Beta Kappa, Pi
Mu Epsilon, and
Kappa Delta, Marie
was the first woman
to be elected to Delta Epsilon Sigma, en-
gineering honorary fraternity. As a mem-
ber of the DukEngineer Staff she contrib-
uted articles to that publication. The Order
of St. Pat, engineering leadership society,
tapped her to membership. She was
Treasurer of the Duke Student Branch
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers; a member of the University
band, choir, and orchestra ; a member of
Chi Omega sorority ; served on both the
Methodist Student Fellowship Council
and the York Chapel Bible Class Council.
Following graduation she will join the
editorial staff of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers, and will be lo-
cated at the New York office.

G. Muriel Theodorsen, of Hampton,
Virginia, also entered
the Woman's College
at Duke. At the
end of her freshman
year she left to enter
Rennselaer Polytech-
nic Institute, where
the Curtiss- Wright
Corporation was
sponsoring a ten-
month training pro-
gram in aeronautics for women. At the
conclusion of that program she returned
to Duke and transferred to Electrical
Engineering. As a member of the Dak-
Engineer Staff she contributed to that
publication. She is a member of the Stu-

dent Branch of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers. After gradua-
tion she plans to go to Rio de Janeiro
as technical assistant to her father,
Theodore Theodorsen, a physicist doing
aeronautical research.

Three additional women are currently
enrolled in engineering : Carol Freedley
Hall, Haddonfield, New Jersey, junior in
mechanical engineering; Martha E. John-
son, Atlanta, Georgia, sophomore in elec-
trical engineering; and Aetna Katherine
Womble, Durham, junior in electrical
engineering.

A.S.C.E. WINS AWARD

Dean W. H. Hall recently received the
following communication from the Com-
mittee on Student Chapters, Southeastern
Region, American Society of Civil Engi-
neers :

"You have probably by now noted in
Civil Engineering the fine record made
by your Student Chapter ASCE in 1945
under the guidance of Professor H. C.
Bird as Faculty Adviser.

"Their report as a record of achieve-
ment and as an engineering report was
a most excellent one. Please extend to
Professor Bird our congratulations as
behind an effective chapter is always an
able Faculty Adviser. Please tell him
that if he finds that excellent report
sheet of meetings as devised for his chap-
ter being adopted by other chaptei's that
he can blame me for 'infringement on his
patent.'

"We hope to see Duke repeat this
award for their 1946 program."

S. S. Duke Victory

Wendell L. (Windy) Lock wood, '43, an
oiler on a seagoing tug in the Merchant
Marine, reports that he has difficulty get-
ting away from seagoing reminders of
the University.

^■k

Recently while waiting for his tug to
be put in shape for sea, Windy found the
S.S. Duke Victory, above, tied up to the
dock loading supplies. The ship was
christened by Rachel Dole, the nation's
140,000th cadet nurse, at exercises in San
Francisco, February 1, 1945. Lt. W. M.
Upchurch, USNR, '31, LL.B. '36, and the
comedian Joe E. Brown were the speakers
at the launching of the ship named for
the University.

Windy marks it a strange coincidence
that shortly after taking the above snap-
shot at the New Orleans port his tug was
called to the Florida coast to pull another
Duke ship, the S.S. W. P. Few, named
for the late Dr. William Preston Few,
former president of the University, off a
reef near Pensacola.

Windy stopped by the campus on the
way to New Orleans to meet his ship. In
addition to being an oiler on the tug, he
is the representative of the Maritime
Union for members of his crew.

G. E. Mann, '31, Cited

By Secretary of Navy
For Outstanding Work

Comdr. Glenn E. (Ted) Mann, '31, dis-
trict public information officer of the
Eighth Naval District, has been awarded
a commendation from the Secretary of
the Navy. The presentation was made
in an informal ceremony at district head-
quarters of the Naval District in New Or-
leans by Rear Adm. A. S. Merrill, dis-
trict commandant.

The citation for the commendation
reads: "For meritorious service in suc-
cessive assignments as public information
officer of the Naval Air Station at At-
lanta, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fla.; as dis-
trict public information officer of the
Fourteenth Naval District, Pearl Harbor;
and in the same office at the Eighth Naval
District in New Orleans, La.

"Conducting his assignments with skill
and sound judgment. Commander Mann
worked tirelessly to bring to the public
view the full knowledge of the Navy's
part in the victorious conclusion of the
war.

"His leadership, tact and diligence con-
tributed materially to the fulfillment of
his department's mission and were in
keeping with the highest traditions of the
United States Naval Service."

Commander Mann left Duke to enter
the Navy in 1941 from the position of
Director of Athletic Publicity. He had
served at Duke 14 years prior to entering
service.

Here is another news item you may
not have. Charles Eugene Peters, S 1/C,
class of '46, was married in January to
a school teacher in Waterloo, Iowa. Here
is his present address if you would like to
find further information concerning his
recent marriage: Charles E. Peters, S 1/C,
Brks. 13, Class 2-46, Ward Island. Corpus
Christi, Texas.

John Croft, class '47, is now stationed
at Sejoul, Korea, in the Army. He is in
the administrative branch doing repatria-
tion work there.

Both James E. Leary and John L.
Croft are planning to re-enter Duke along
with myself although I will be able to
enroll one or two semesters earlier than
either of them.

If several of the fellows I've met in
the service are able, I know we will have
some new Dukesters this fall. I was very
glad to learn from the Register that so
many ex-G.I.'s are already hack at Duke.
I certainly hope Duke's campus and fac-
ulty are capable of handling all of the
new students and returning veterans. I
know returning to Duke is on top of my
post-war plans and I feel this must be
true of several hundreds of former Duke
students.

Until I can walk into the Alumni Of-
fice and cancel my name from the alumni
list, I remain,

Sincerely yours,

Ninety-fourth

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, June, 1946

Athletic 'learni Win Six, ajj ^en Southern
Ganjjeftewce ^itl&i jpsi Swccetejiul yean

Track, golf, lacrosse, football, basketball, and wrestling teams
annex conference crowns; Tennis team has successful season in
spite of inexperience; Baseball team takes second place for
fourth consecutive year; Seventy-two letters awarded for spring
sports competition; Athletes feted by Durham Alumni Associa-
tion at barbecue supper; Carlyle Groome takes batting honors
with .392 average; Track team makes clean sweep of Southern
honors.

Winning six out of ten possible South-
ern Conference championships, Duke's
fall, winter, and spring sports teams have
completed their most successful season
since 1941.

Of the six title-holding teams, three
won their honors in the spring season
schedules just recently completed. The
track, golf, and lacrosse squads were
recognized as the best in the conference
area.

On May 11, Bob Chambers' cindermen
were credited with a surprisingly one-
sided dual victory over North Carolina
and followed it up the next week by
walking off with the top honors in the
Southern Conference track and field meet
in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels trailed
in second, and Maryland was third, but
the field was so predominantly Duke that
the combined totals of Maryland and
Carolina points fell short of the Blue
Devil score.

On June 1, Duke closed the season by
turning the Carolina AAU Invitational
Open into a rout, scoring 125 points to
win.

Duke had conference champions in
seven events. Doug Ausbon, a Durham
freshman who was high individual scorer
of the meet, took first place in the 220-
yard dash, the broad jump, and the high
jump. Jim O'Leary was winner of the
shot put and discus, and Roger Neigh-
borgall hit the tape first in the 880-yard
run. Neighborgall and Ausbon were mem-
bers of the Blue Devil mile relay team
which came in first.

The golfers closed their season with
two victories over Carolina for a record
of six wins against a single defeat. An
upset loss to N. C. State, a team which
Duke had earlier defeated, snapped a

Duke victory string in golf that had ex-
tended as far back as 1940.

Jack Persons' lacrosse men won two
out of five games, but one of the victories
was a 12-4 win over Maryland and was
regarded as one of the greatest upsets in
lacrosse history. In the only home game
of the season Duke rolled over Loyola
in Duke Stadium, 22-4.

Four members of the team were selected
to play in the annual North-South all-
star game in Baltimore, a game which
ended in a 14-14 tie. Jim Corrigan, Olin
Gilbert, Walt Ross, and Tom Gorsuch
represented the Blue Devils, and all four
played an important part in the South's
second half rally after trailing 9-2 at in-
termission. Corrigan was the second high
scorer for the boys from Dixie with three
points.

Gorsuch was in the game longer than
any player for either team. He was out
of the contest only two minutes, and he
turned in such a fine performance on de-
fense that when the first All-America
team was released a week later, Gorsuch
had been awarded a position. He is the
first Duke Ail-American lacrosse player
since Ray Brown won the honor in 1941.

The Blue Devil baseball nine barely
missed out on top honors in the Big Pour
League, but a one-run loss in the crucial
game with N. C. State cost the Dukes the
pennant, and they finished a game back
of the Raleigh team in second place. It
was the fourth straight year that Duke
has finished in second place, never having
quite the punch to win the flag.

Some consolation came Duke's way in
that they chalked up three victories in
four starts against North Carolina. After
dropping the first game 4-2, the Blue

Devils came back to whip the Tar Heels,
5-1, 6-4, and 5-3.

Highlights of the baseball season were
some nifty pitching performances by Lee
Griffeth and Bob Houghton and the
heavy hitting of lead-off man Carlyle
Groome. Houghton turned in a one-hit
job in Duke's first win over Carolina.
He had a perfect game until the ninth in-
ning with two out when a pinch hitter
spoiled what would have been his second
no-hit game for the Blue Devils.

Four days later, Griffeth turned in a
one-hitter, his second of the season,
against N. C. State. The only safe blow
the Terrors could manage came in the
first frame.

Groome set a terrific batting pace late
in the season to climb from a "below .300"
mark to a first place in the batting race.
His winning average was .392.

The baseball team ended the season with
15 victories and eight defeats.

The young, inexperienced tennis squad
turned in a much better record than had
been expected of them. The freshman-
manned netmen broke even in fourteen
matches played.

At the close of the season, 72 letters
were awarded the Duke athletes for par-
ticipation in spring sports. These letter-
men, together with the members of the
winter sports squads, were honored at a
barbecue given by the Durham-Duke
Alumni Association at which time Mr.
Percy Reade paid tribute to the fine
sportsmanship displayed by all Duke ath-
letic teams and to the great record com-
piled this past year in athletics.

In fall and winter sports, Duke won
the conference championship in football,
wrestling, and basketball.

The following are home football
games for which season tickets may
be purchased:

October 5 — Tennessee
October 19 — Richmond
November 2 — Georgia Tech (Home-
coming)
November 9 — Wake Forest

Society Given Token
Of Appreciation

A certificate of appreciation for the
relief given them during the war has
been sent to Dr. Ruth Addoms, professor
of botany, by the war torn cities of Eng-
land. The certificate is a token of thanks
for the work done during the recent war
by the British War Relief Society in Dur-
ham, of which Dr. Addoms is chairman.

The message, framed by the coats-of-
arms of the grateful towns, reads: "On
behalf of the war-distressed people of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the
Women's Voluntary Services tender
thanks to you for your generous help
given during the long years of battle
against Nazi tyranny."

Dr. Addoms said that this message of
gratitude is directed to the hundreds of
men and women who willingly offered
their services in the many and varied
fields of the British War Relief Society,
now the United Nations War Relief
Society.

The University community played a big
role in the functioning of the organization.

Anonymous Donor Places
Bench at West Campus Circle

A replica of the famous marble bench
given by Professor Goldwin Smith to
Cornell University in 1878 has been pre-
sented to Duke University by an anony-
mous donor. The bench is situated on
the circle at the entrance to West Cam-
pus. It bears the inscription "Above All
Nations Is Humanity."

Goldwin Smith was Regius Professor
of Modern History at the University of
Oxford before he joined the Cornell fac-
ulty. He was one of the most renowned
historical scholars of the nineteenth cen-
tury.

Bench Placed on Campus
Woman's Class of '46

By

The Woman's College class of 1946
donated a granite bench which was placed
at the East Campus downtown bus stop.
The bench was given in addition to the
class gift of five hundred dollars which
was applied to the Alice M. Baldwin
Scholarship Fund.

The bench was manufactured at the
North Carolina Granite Corporation,
Mount Airy. Its purchase and manufac-
ture were expedited through the efforts
of the corporation's president, John P.
Frank, '22.

fact — that this five-year-old child,

Dear Inez (class secretary)

I am terribly disappointed not to be able to go to the reunion. I
never hoped to be back for the tenth reunion, and now that I find
myself in the right country in the right year it is annoying not to be
able to attend.

It was nice to have my Duke roommate to welcome me when we
landed in San Francisco last year. Yes, Euth Bennett Bright was
there.

If you ask what I have been doing the past ten years I am afraid
that you are in for a travel itinerary :

I went to Spain to see museums but we saw a first rate revolution
instead. I did get a ride on a U. S. cruiser out of that experience and
wasn't any more seasick than usual. I met my brother in Italy as he
was traveling toward Duke. Later Mother joined me and we had a
long dull trip across Russia and Siberia and Manchuria to Peking
where Dad was waiting for us. Peking was a tourist's heaven. It is
the only place I have traveled where I didn't wear out my feet sight-
seeing. There one lets the rickshaw boy do the legwork.

We reached home (Baguio, Philippines) late in the year. In April
I had a chance to go to East Africa with a friend of Mother's who
was going there to visit her son who had taken over the Martin Johnson
home in Nairobi. We met Mrs. Johnson who was there making "Stan-
ley and Livingston" and enjoyed the social life, but the most fun was
going up into the Northern frontier province on a safari. I saw first
hand all the animals one expects in a zoo and enjoyed that type of
roughing it which included servants and hot baths and other civilized
trimmings. From there I went on to Europe for the summer, rushing
home in time to start teaching art history and math at Brent School in
Baguio.

I taught for two years taking summer excursions to Hong Kong and
the Sulu Sea. Then I married and started traveling from necessity
rather than pleasure. In my first year of life married to a metallurgist
I fixed up four houses — two of them native nepa shacks with less in
the way of conveniences than a tent in Africa. (Rent $2.50 per month.)
We eventually ended up at a nice gold mining camp a few miles from
Baguio and it was there we were when a Jap bomb missed its target at
Camp John Hay and fell into the valley just below (December eight).

Our precautions in laying in food supplies went for nothing as we
were soon on Jap rations. That lasted for three years — thirty seven
months or 1,137 days. Long days of living on rumors and rice (com-
plete with weavels and worms for protein). Our son Michael was bom
a few months after we entered camp. Caring for him kept us so occu-
pied that we didn't have much time to think about ourselves. We were
all incorrigible optimists and had the Philippine beaches worn out with
landings even in 1942. The Japs thought it was odd that we could

DUKE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI REGISTER

Volume XXXII

July, 1946

Number 7

*7<4e fycM, Pntxyiani

Although it is still summer, the weeks betweeu now
and the fall will pass very quickly. We hope, therefore,
that alumni are already thinking about and making plans
for a complete program of activities during the autumn
months.

As it will be the first meeting for a number of the
groups since the war, the committees in charge of arrange-
ments will have to plan unusually carefully if these occa-
sions are to be as successful as desired.

Officers and members of local associations should begin
now to plan their annual meetings. It is sincerely hoped
that these can be held during the months of September,
October, and November.

The month of November will again be designated as
"Alumni Month." Although the activities and interests
of alumni should not be confined to any one month, it is
important that every alumnus make an effort to contribute
something to the University and the Alumni Association
during this period.

Then, there is Homecoming on November 2, the day
of the Georgia Tech game. Duke men and women are
loyal to Alma Mater and realize the importance of Home-
coming as an annual event on the alumni calender, but,
since they are exceedingly busy, perhaps a word of re-
minder will not be amiss. Be sure to make plans now to
be here for the occasion.

QootLall ^iaketl

By the time this Register reaches you the priority sale
of season tickets for alumni will have closed; but, if you
will mail your order immediately, you can still get season
books as the unlimited sale of season books to the general
public will begin August 1 and continue through August
15. Tickets for individual home games will be available to
alumni only from August 15 through August 20. The
number of tickets will not be limited. On August 20 the
unrestricted sale of individual tickets will be opened to
the general public. If you wish tickets for out-of-town
games, you may enclose the order for these tickets with
your order for home games.

Published elsewhere in this issue is a football ticket
information page which gives complete information as to
price, schedule, etc.

Again may we urge you to mail your order for tickets
immediately to the Athletic Association.

Alumni tlecosidl Oj^ice

One of the most important divisions of the alumni
work is the Alumni Records Office. It is here that the
records of the more than 25,000 Duke alumni are kept.
In the process of maintaining these records, a considerable
amount of time is required on the part of those responsible
for the service. It has been necessary during the past
year for this office to handle approximately 75,000 changes
of address, which include changes in the alphabetical,
class, and geographical files.

At the beginning of the war, there was a decided in-
crease in the number of changes because so many Duke
alumni were in the ages affected by the draft law. And
we assumed that with the termination of hostilites this
number of changes would be materially reduced. How-
ever, such has not been the case, for with the return of
many veterans to the University and to their homes, if
anything, the number of address changes has increased.
In addition to the changes in the records office, more than
17,000 addressograph plates have been cut for the Alumni
Register and general mailing lists.

One and Twenty: Duke Narrative and Verse 1924-
1915, now in its second printing, has received many com-
pliments since the University Press brought it out last
November. As we feel sure that alumni are particularly
interested in this first compilation of the work of students,
we take pleasure in reprinting a review which appeared in
the May issue of Tomorrow magazine:

"Too many anthologies published today are conglom-
erations with no other cohesive or reason than an editor's
whim. The basis of this collection of fiction and poems by
Duke University graduates and undergraduates, edited by
William Blackburn of the Duke faculty, has been purely
that of literary quality, however.

"Several of the authors represented are very well
known : Newman Ivey White, chairman of the English de-
partment at Duke and author of the monumental Shelley,
has several of his poems included, notably Barabbas to
His Lieutenant on Mount Calvary; and David Cornel De-
Jong, whose work has appeared in Tomorrow, is here rep-
resented by a brilliant impressionistic story, Calves.

' ' On the whole, the poetry shows more depth of mean-
ing and greater skill in craftsmanship than the prose.
George Zabriskie's Confederate has all the stature and
genuine feeling of an important, if not a great, poem, and
the same might be said of a good deal of R. P. Harriss'
work. (Continued on Page 178)

Registration Held June 27 — Teachers, Veterans, and Coeds Fill
185 Courses to Capacity — East Campus Is Closed — 118 Veterans
Enrolled in School of Law.

has 31 men enrolled as candidates for the
Bachelor of Divinity degree and eight
others studying toward graduate degrees
in the field of religion.

Enrollment figures for the 1946 Sum-
mer Session of the University total
slightly under 1,700 students. This total
does not include the School of Forestry
and several special students who are tak-
ing work at Duke while working for de-
grees at other institutions.

Hundreds of public school and college
teachers, veterans, and coeds have come
to Duke to begin or continue their col-
lege educations. Registration was held
on June 27 and, with few exceptions, all
of the 185 courses offered for the Sum-
mer Session have been filled to classroom
capacity.

The Summer Session, under the direc-
tion of Dr. Holland Holton, is being of-
fered in two terms, with the exception of
the Divinity School which has already
completed a three-weeks session and will
offer two more Summer Session periods.
The current period of study for all other
courses began on June 27 and will con-
tine through August 8. The second pe-
riod will begin on August 0 and will
continue through August 29. No student
can take more than two credit courses dur-
ing the first six-weeks period or more than
one credit course for the final three-weeks
period. Eighty-five minute classes will be
offered during the current six-weeks ses-
sion and three-hour classes will be offered
during the last term. Instructors will be
limited to two courses each.

Attending classes on the Duke campus
are students working, for undergraduate
degrees on an accelerated program, can-
didates for the Master of Arts, Master of
Science, Master of Education, and Doc-
tor of Philosophy degrees, teachers work-
ing toward certificate requirements, and a
number of first semester veterans. The
entrance of all recent high school grad-
uates and transfer undergraduate students
has been deferred until the fall semester
beginning in September.

Although the East Campus has been
officially closed for much-needed repairs
and the remodeling of the dormitories,
the library and certain classrooms are

open to accommodate the education and
Spanish classes. Womin students are
being housed in Crowell Quadrangle just
behind the clock tower on the West
Campus.

This current enrollment is the first
peacetime group to take summer work on
the Duke campus since 1941.

There are 881 nun enrolled in Trinity
College and the Co'lege of Enginecr'ng.
Also in the undergraduate school are 103
women. The Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences has over 200 studfnts taking ad-
vanced work toward graduate degrees.
Of the 138 students enrolled in the School
of Law, 118 are veterans studying under
the G.I. Bill of Rights. The' School of
Medicine has 50 regular students and one
special student enrolled for the Summer
Session. The School of Nursing has 215
students enrolled and there are 11 stu-
dents taking special courses in phvs'cal
therapy and 12 more studying in the
School of Dietetics. The Divinity School

Tuition Is* Increased

Dr. R. L. Flowers, President of Duke
University, at the direction of the Board
of Trustees has announced an increase in
tuition. This increase, which becomes
effective in September, 1946, will be
$50.00 per semester or an increase of
$100.00 per academic year of two semes-
ters, thus changing the present tuition
rate from $200.00 to $300.00 an academic
year.

A general increase in all costs which
. enter into the operation of the Univer-
sity, together with decreasing earnings
from endowment investments, make this
action necessary. Only after thorough
consideration was this action taken by the
Board of Trustees. Increased costs of
operation already encountered and others
already apparent far exceed the gain
which will result from this increase. Duke
is only one among many educational in-
stitutions, both public and private, which
have found it necessary to increase
tuition.

Public school and college teachers, veterans, and students register for the Summer
Session which began on June 27.

The closing of the Navy V-12 unit at
Duke marked the end of the accelerated
academic schedule which has heen in effect
on the campus for the past three years.

The Duke NROTC unit was the twenty-
seventh in the nation to be activated. The
initial class came to the campus in Sep-
tember, 1941, and was limited to one
hundred men, all freshmen. Later the
program was expanded to include pre-
medical, pre-theological, engineering-, and
special science courses in Trinity College,
as well as medical and ministerial courses
leading to degrees in the Graduate School.

During its three years' existence on
the campus the V-12 unit supplied hun-
dreds of officers to the fleet and to other
wartime posts. In all, 353 Navy train-
ees received diplomas from Duke and an
undetermined number, high in the hun-
dreds, matriculated at the University
under special short-term programs. The
peak of the V-12 division of the Naval
training program was reached in 1943,

when 1,004 trainees were attending classes
on the campus.

Capt. A. T. Clay, USN (retired), of
Washington, D. C, was the first com-
mandant of the Duke unit. He arrived
in Durham in July, 1941, to prepare for
the coming of the unit in September of
that year. He was designated commander
of the newly organized Naval College
Training School in April, 1943, when the
Duke NROTC unit was expanded to care
for as many as 1,500 men, most of whom
did short-term study at Duke.

In April, 1944, Captain Clay was re-
lieved as commanding officer by Capt.
C. P. MeFeaters, a veteran of combat serv-
ice. Captain MeFeaters remained as head
of the Duke Naval units until August,
1945, when he was relieved by Capt. A.
M. Kowalzyk, USN, also a veteran of
wartime fleet duty. The unit remained
under Captain Kowalzyk until the time
of its deactivation.

Although the V-12 unit ceased wartime

operation on July 1, the NROTC and the
V-5 programs will continue at Duke on a
peace-time basis under Captain Kowal-
zyk's command.

Details of the operations of these
peace-time units are still pending before
Congress.

Phi Kappa Delta Song
Contest Winners Chosen

Ray Short and Troy Barrett, Divinity
School students, were awarded the first
prize of one hundred dollars in the song
contest sponsored by Phi Kappa Delta,
local honorary senior women's leadership
sorority. The winning entry was a fight
song entitled "Here Comes Our Team."

Honorable mention was given to Nor-
man K. Nelson for his "Duke Anthem"
and to Nan Hedden for her fight song,
"Fight for the Blue and White." The
judges were Mr. J. Foster Barnes, Dr.
William Blackburn, and Miss Anne
Garrard.

The contest aroused considerable inter-
est both on the campus and among the
alumni as evidenced by the number of
entries coming in from all over the coun-
try. Three entries were sent from
Okinawa.

Plans are being made to publish a Duke
Song Book in the fall which will include
"The Blue and White," "Alma Mater,"
and many of the songs that were sub-
mitted to the contest.

Pictured above are Dr. Robert L. Flowers, president of the University, and Rear
Admiral Laurance Toombs DuBose, USN, commandant of the Sixth Naval District,
the principal speaker at the June Commencement exercises held in Page Auditorium on
June 24. The June Commencement marked the closing of the Navy V-12 program at
Duke after three years of activity on the campus.

D. S. Correll, '34, Wins
Guggenheim Award

Donovan S. Correll, A.B. '34, A.M. '36,
Ph.D. '39, of Winston-Salem, has been
awarded a post-service fellowship by the
John Simon Guggenheim Foundation.

The fellowship has been awarded to
Dr. Correll to complete an illustrated flora
of the Orchidaceae of North America,
north of Mexico.

Dr. Correll began his botanical research
as a graduate student at Duke. In 1938-
39, he held a joint fellowship between
Harvard and Duke which enabled him to
spend a year in the Botanical Museum at
Harvard. In 1940 he was appointed asso-
ciate curator in the Botanical Museum of
Harvard.

Recently discharged from the Navy, Dr.
Correll expects to make a collecting trip
to Texas and will spend some time at
Southern Methodist University before
starting work on his fellowship.

Dr. Correll is the husband of Helen
Butts Correll, Ph.D. '34.

Jlal Aided 10,000 P&tio*a in Pad 10 tyeaAA.

Patients come from every county in North Carolina; 9,000 in-
struments have been repaired or made in shop; Shop is well
equipped with necessary material for manufacture and repair
of braces and instruments; C. A. Letzing has been in charge for
16 years.

The art of bracemaking was first de-
scribed by Hippocrates, the father of
medicine. Since that day, bracemaking
has become a highly developed art and
an accomplishment frequently handed
down from father to son.

Early braces were often as much instru-
ments of torture as of healing. They
were usually manufactured by the ar-
morer or the blacksmith and frequently
weighed in at a hundred pounds. The
modern brace dates back only as far as
the close of the nineteenth centuiy when
the medical profession came to under-
stand and appreciate more fully surgical
deformity.

The first World War, which resulted in
so many deformities and injuries, gave
considerable impetus to the work of the
bracemaker. Well-fitted, comfortable
braces became the means by which thou-
sands of crippled persons left their beds
and wheel-chairs and started to lead use-
ful and self-supporting lives.

In North Carolina, which has an esti-
mated population of over 3,500,000, there
are approximately 25,000 crippled per-
sons. A large percentage of these can
walk only because of the braces which
they wear. There are hundreds of others
who can be helped by a properly fitted
brace or braces, even though they are
hopelessly crippled. Every physician fre-
quently has need of a brace to help a
crippled patient. Despite this frequent
need, there is still a crucial shortage of
braces.

In the last ten years the Brace and
Instrument Division of Duke Hospital
has made braces for over 10,000 persons.
These patients have come from every
county in North Carolina, 32 counties in
South Carolina, 20 in Virginia, and sev-
eral in Tennessee. In addition to the
brace work, over 9,000 instruments have
been repaired or made in the Duke brace
shop.

The brace shop is located in the Duke
University School of Medicine building.
It is well equipped and stocked with all
the materials necessary to the manufac-
ture and repair of braces and instru-
ments. Such material includes heavy and
light leather in sheepskin and horse hide,
soft leather and hard, leather for linings,
leather for making jackets, and all the
tools necessary for working leather. In
addition, felt and cork, duralumin, steel,
rubber, plywood, and every component
part of the brace or surgical instrument
are stacked.

C. A. Letzing has been in charge of
this interesting and little known segment
of Duke Hospital for 16 years. He is a
combination of mechanic, leather worker,
and anatomist, cobbler, and master crafts-
man. Before coming to Duke in 1930 to
assume charge of the newly opened brace
shop, he spent 14 years in brace shop
work at the Children's Hospital in Bos-
ton and was for 5 years in charge of the
brace shop at the Massachusetts General
Hospital. Under his direction the brace
shop here has grown to one of importance.
Here, through efficient cooperation be-
tween the Division of Orthopaedics and
the brace shop, two widely used braces
have been developed. These are a three-
point brace, developed for correcting de-
formities of the spine in arthritis, and a
foot piece which is used to prevent de-
formity in fracture cases where treatment
requires traction. Other special ortho-
paedic paraphernalia has been developed
in the orthopaedic division for use in
physical therapy.

The braces are made to order. When
a patient has been diagnosed in a clinic
as needing a brace, the orthopaedist in
charge sends for Mr. Letzing who coop-
erates in designing and in taking meas-
urements. The doctor prescribes the type
of piece required and the brace shop man-
ufactures the brace, fitted carefully and

exactly to the patient's needs.

Often the physician makes a plaster
mold of the patient and the brace is
measured and fitted on this in order to
eliminate unnecessary fittings since so
many patients come great distances to
Duke.

Occasionally orders are received by mail
from out of town physicians. Such or-
ders are filled with the understanding
that the patient come to the hospital if
the brace does not fit exactly. This ad-
monition also follows along with braces
which are manufactured and mailed to
patients who re-order a brace for which
they were originally fitted at Duke. The
consulting physician is asked to pass on
each brace before it is delivered to the
patient.

The orthopaedic surgeon and the pro-
fessor of physiology ai-e responsible for
the brace shop work and it functions
under their direction. Braces are made
only upon the request of a doctor. The pa-
tient's physician recommends the type of
brace to be manufactured. If desired,
the patient is seen by the orthopaedist
and the type considered most suitable is
manufactured in the brace shop.

Bracemaking is such a personal craft
that the brace maker must take the great-
est pains in assuring that the appliance
is not only effective and corrective, but
that it is also comfortable and as incon-
spicuous as possible. Exceptional care is
needed to protect the patient from a brace
which will rub his skin or cause undue
wear upon his clothing. All exposed
parts of the brace must be finished so as
to assure a pleasing appearance.

It is hoped that in the near future the
present need for more bracemakers and
brace shops throughout the South will be
met. The need for skilled craftsmen in
this worthy work is pressing. The advan-
tage of a tailor-made brace, turned out
by a skilled bracemaker with the best of
materials and with care and speed, should
be the privilege of every crippled person.

The annual Duke Night will be held
on Monday evening, August 12, at Lake
Junaluska. Dr. Harvie Branscomb,
dean of the Divinity School, will be
the principal speaker.

Ajjt&i JleaAt Attack an jjune 25

Creasy K. Proctor, '08, Oxford, died
at his home on the Oxford Orphanage
campus on June 25 at 10 :00 p.m., almost
one hour after he had suffered a heart
attack.

More formally known as Rev. C. K.
Proctor, he was widely known in North
Carolina for his outstanding work as
superintendent of the Masonic Orphanage
in Oxford. He had held this position
since 1928.

Born in East Durham on September 4,
18S9. the son of J. S. H. and Margaret
Barbee Proctor, he entered Trinity Col-
lege in 1904. Upon graduation in 1908,
he continued his education at Vanderbilt
University, Union Theological Seminary,
and Columbia University. He was active
in the ministry of the Methodist Church
for fifteen years and served pastorates in
Oklahoma and North Carolina prior to
his appointment to head the Oxford
Orphanage.

At the time of his death Mr. Proctor
was a member of the Board of Trustees
of Duke University and of High Point
College. He had been a member of the
Duke Board of Trustees since 1935.

He was a Past Potentate of the Sudan
Ttmjjle of the Shrine and a member of
the William G. Hill Masonic Lodge of
Raleigh. He was a York Rite Mason and
Grand Chaplain of the North Carolina
Grand Lodge of Masons. His activity in

the Masonic organization extended over a
period of twenty-five years.

His interest in youth was not confined
to his work as superintendent of the Or-
phanage. He served during the past year
as president of Oeconeechee Council of
Boy Scouts and had been a member of
the Council for several years.

Surviving are his widow, the former
Matilda McRae Culpepper, two sons,
Kinion Proctor, '37, and Lt. (jg) Richard
C. Proctor (MC), USNR, '42; and three

Mr. Proctor had requested that his
body lie in state for half a day in the
chapel at the Oxford Orphanage where
it might be viewed by the children of the
Orphanage. This request was carried out
during the entire day of June 26.

Funeral services were held on the after-
noon of June 28 at the Oxford Methodist
Church. The final committal took place at
Elmwood Cemeterv.

George-Frank Wall, who gives his age
as 75 and says he has been employed by
the University since he was old enough to
follow his janitor-father around old Trin-
ity College in Randolph County, has be-
queathed to the institution a sum of one
hundred dollars.

Dr. Robert L. Flowers, president of
the University, whom Frank remembers
as an instructor at Trinity College, has
been appointed by the faithful employee
to serve as the executor of his last will
and testament upon the event of his
death. The gift to the University has
already been received in the full sum and
will go on record in permanent form, the
principal amount to be added to a schol-
arship fund, income of which will be
used toward the aid of a worthy student.

The will reads in part : "I bequeath the
sum of One-Hundred Dollars to Duke
University forever. The reason that I
am giving Duke University the One-
Hundred Dollars is that I have been em-
ployed by said School all my life, from

old Trinity College in Randolph County
to Trinity College in Durham, thence to
Duke University where I am now em-
ployed. I want to impress on other col-
ored men the fine and good relations be-
tween Christian white people and Chris-
tian negroes. For seventy-five years I
have been employed by said institution
and never a cross word, but Christian
harmony. (Signed) George-Frank Wall."
Frank is not sure of the exact date of
his birth, only that he has been told that
he was born "five days before Christmas,"
and that he will be about 76 years old this
coming December. His father, for whom
he was named, was an ex-slave, and his
mother was Hattie Cole. Both were from
Randolph County. His earliest recollec-
tion are those of his father working for
old Trinity College in Randolph County
and of himself as a child following after
him, helping to sweep and clean, and
make beds for the students. But the
family Bible, in which his parents re-
corded dates, was destroved when the

Wall house was burned after they moved
to Durham. As far as Frank knows, there
is no written record of the date of his
birth.

Frank came up without much formal
schooling as his youth coincided with the
tumult of post Civil War days. He ex-
presses himself as feeling very grateful
for the valuable instruction, though not
from text books, which he has received
through the constant, consistent proximity
to an institution of higher learning and
its people, and, above all, for the kind
consideration received at all times.

Because he has always signed his given
name with a hyphen, Frank has gone by
the nickname of "George Hyphen Frank"
bestowed by his early associates, perhaps
students of old Trinity College. He is
often called "Hyphen."

Frank states that he likes to attend
church, but that he is not concerned about
denominations. He is bitterly opposed to
all fomis of dancing, card-playing, and
drinking. His favorite hymn is "Jesus,
Lover of My Soul." He lives with his
wife, a native of South Carolina, on
Thaxton Street, Durham, where they
celebrated their twentieth anniversary on
the fourth of July. His first wife was
Rosa Lloyd of Randolph County, who
was the mother of his four sons.

Dr. Erie Bulle Craven, Jr., '25, died
at his home in Lexington on June 19. He
had been in poor health for the past two
years and on several occasions had under-
gone extended treatment in hospitals.

A grandson of Braxton Craven, for-
mer president of Trinity College, Dr.
Craven received his Bachelor of Arts de-
gree from Duke in 1925 and graduated
from Johns Hopkins Medical School in

1929. After serving on the staff at Johns
Hopkins, he came to Duke Hospital in

1930, where he remained until 1934 as a
resident in medicine on the hospital staff
and an associate professor of medicine
in the School of Medicine.

In 1934 Dr. Craven returned to Lex-
ington to begin private practice, but con-
tinued to serve as associate professor of
medicine on the faculty of the Duke
School of Medicine. In 1942, being a

member of the Army medical reserve
corps, he was called into active duty with
the rank of major and was sent to Fort
Bragg where he helped organize the Duke
Hospital unit, the 65th General Hospital.
Ill health prevented him from accompany-
ing the unit overseas in the late summer
of 1943. Shortly afterward he was re-
leased to inactive duty. Since then he had
spent most of his time as a patient in
Duke Hospital and other hospitals in an
attempt to regain his health.

Dr. Craven was a fellow of the Amer-
ican College of Physicians and a licentiate
of the American Board of Internal
Medicine.

He is survived by his wife, Dr. Jean
Davidson Craven; two sons, Erie B.
Craven, III, and Nicholas S. Craven; his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Craven, Sr. ;
a brother, John B. Craven, and a sister,
Mrs. B. C. Young, Jr., all of Lexington.

Secretary, Esther Ruth Jones Andrews
(Mrs. Jack); Treasurer, Meredith Moore.

Meredith Moore brought up the fact
that our class did not leave a graduation
gift or memorial to the University, and
appointed a committee to contact all mem-
bers by letter to see if money could be
raised for an appropriate memorial or
scholarship fund to be given to the school
by the class of '32.

CLASS OF 1932
Members of the class of 1932 present

CLASS OF 1936

The tenth reunion of the class of 1936
was held on May 25, 1946, at a luncheon
in the West Campus Union Building.
Members present were: Ruth Patterson,
Sarah Markham, Mrs. Mary Carolyn Seed
Cox, Mrs. Hazel Mangum Stubbs, Mrs.
Inez Abernathy Hall, Ben F. Meacham,
Grayson Brothers, Gerald Cooper, Rufus
H. Powell, III, Clifford Perry, Robert
Mallard, and Robert T. Hoyle.

A number of other people who had
planned to come were unable to attend
due to lack of transportation because of
the railroad strike.

Each member present gave a brief ac-
count of his or her activities during the
past ten years. We were glad to get
cards from a number of the absent mem-
bers and a letter from Betty Halsema
Foley (Mrs. R. M.) telling of her ex-
perience during the war years as a pris-
oner of the Japanese in the Philippine
Islands and expressing her regret at not
being able to attend the reunion.

The following officers were elected to
serve until the next class reunion : Presi-
dent, Dr. Joe S. Hiatt, Jr.; Vice-Presi-
dent, Margaret Franck Credle (Mrs. Wil-
liam S.) ; Secretary, Hazel Mangum
Stubbs (Mrs. Allston); Treasurer, Ger-
ald Cooper.

Nominations for class representatives
to the Alumnae and Alumni Councils are
as follows : Sarah Markham and Inez
Abernathy Hall (Mrs. C. W.), Joe Hiatt,
Jr., and Ben Meacham. Ballots for these

elections will appear in the Alumni Reg-
ister (August issue).

A committee was appointed to investi-
gate the possibilities of a class project.
A scholarship in memory of the men of
the class of '36 who lost their lives in
the recent war is one of the possibilities
being considered. Members of the com-
mittee are : Ruth Patterson, Chairman,
Grayson Brothers, and Mary Carolyn
Seed Cox.

The representatives to the Alumnae and
Alumni Councils, who will be elected later,
will also serve on this committee.

In order to give the class a working
fund, .it was decided to ask for dues of
$1.00 from each member. No further dues
will be requested before the next class re-
union. Every member is urgently re-
quested to mail a cheek for this amount
to Dr. Gerald Cooper — the new treasurer
—2105 Chapel Hill Road, Durham, N. C.

There being no further business the
meeting was adjourned.

Because of the unusual interest, we
have asked permission to print the
following letter from Edwin L. Jones,
'12, to President Flowers :

"Operation Crossroads"
Bikini, Marshall Islands
July 1, 1946
Dear Prof. Flowers,

Just a line to let you know I saw
the 4th Atomic Bomb explode, and
contrary to a lot of wild guesses, we
are all still here. I came as one of the
special observers for the Manhattan
District and I've "observed" plenty.

We went over the target ships yes-
terday, then early this morning took
our position 18.9 miles from the target.
Using special goggles, we looked di-
rectly at the blast which, momentarily,
was many times brighter than the
overhead tropical sun. The spectacular
show was the column of vapor acids
and radio active materials that started
to rise and in twenty minutes reached
42,500 feet. It hung there nearly an
hour before starting to disintegrate.
It had a toad stool type head that ex-
panded, boiled, and glowed from the
heat within and was an awesome sight
through our binoculars.

We are hoping to board some of the
ships soon, as we are to spend two
days examining the damage before
starting home. It has been a long hot
trip, but a most unusual experience.

With best wishes, I am
Sincerely,
(Signed) Edwin L. Jones

Kiker (Blannie E. Berry, '09), of Reids-
ville, N. C, was born on February 28,
Lucy Ellen, who is a lusty little one rap-
idly acquiring new knowledge preparatory
to entering Trinity about 1937.

1910
For several months Harrison Aubrey
Underwood has been residing with his
family in Raleigh. Recently he has been
designated agent to close up the business
of the State's building commission. For
sometime he has been chief engineer of
the commission having charge of prac-
tically all the details of the wide range
of work, and now he takes over increased
duties as well as those of the State archi-
tect, a position recently abolished by the
legislature.

1911
To Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Sherrill Alder-
man, of Greensboro, N. C, was born on
March 28 a daughter, Frances Genevieve
Alderman.

ON THE CAMPUS
Dr. William H. Glasson served as chair-
man of the drafting committee which re-
cently prepared a council-manager charter
for the city of Durham. The charter
provides for a council of nine to employ
a city manager to take charge of the
city's work. The legislature passed the
new charter bill and submitted the plan
to a vote of the people on March 29. The
voters of Durham adopted the charter by
a majority of eight hundred.

A series of revival services was held at
the College during the week after ex-
aminations under the auspices of the
Y.M.C.A. The meetings were conducted
by Reverend E. K. McLarty, of Ashe-
ville. Mr. McLarty, who is a graduate
of the class of 1895, is one of the most
prominent of the alumni of the College.
He lived up to his usual reputation as a
preacher of high order. At the close of
the services a remarkable consecration

The College Band, under the direction
of Professor H. L. Blomquist, has become
a feature in the life of the campus. The
band furnishes music at the basketball,
baseball, and football games. The band
has developed into quite a creditable
organization.

The first series of lectures of the John
McTyeire Flowers Foundation were de-
livered in Craven Memorial Hall, March
29-31, 1921, by Hon. Paul S. Reinsch,
of Washington, D. C. The subjects of
these lectures were:

March 29, American Duties and Inter-
ests in the Far East.

March 30, American Relations with
China.

March 31, American Achievements and
Duties in the Philippine Islands.

The four bungalows on Trinity Avenue
near Trinity College, formerly owned by
the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company
have become the property of members of
the Trinity College faculty. The pur-
chasers are Professors James Cannon,
III, Paul Gross, W. H. J. Cotton, and
C. L. Hornadav.

The State meeting of the North Caro-
lina Student Volunteer Band was held
here February 25-27. More than a hun-
dred visitors were on the campus. The
band elected Sam Maxwell of Trinity,
President, and Miss Blanche Barringer,
also a Trinity student, Secretary.

At a recent meeting of the Y.M.C.A.
the following officers were elected for the
coming year: President, Leroy Dulin, of
Charlotte; Vice-President, C. B. Houck,
of Todd; Treasurer, J. E. Bridgers, of
Raleigh; Secretary, Henry Belk, of
Monroe.

The 9019 has elected the following mem-
bers this term : Herbert James Herring,
Richard Elton Thigpen, George Dewey
Harmon, Doctor Thomas Ferrell, Luther

Wesley Barnhardt, Hugh Talmage Lefler,
Robert Tayloe Dunstan, Robert Alexander
Parham, Thomas Carlton Kirkman, Sam-
uel Shei'man Murray, and Oscar Leonard
Richardson.

Among the changes that are taking
place on the campus, is the lowering of
the Washington Duke Monument. This
will be placed practically on a level with
the ground. It is thus hoped that the
general appearance of the driveway will
be improved.

The annual reception to the freshmen
was a duplicate of similar occasions of
former years with a few new names added
to the list of those who also spoke. Dr.
W. H. Glasson was toastmaster. On the
list of those who responded to toasts
appear the names of Dean W. H. Wan-
namaker; Dean of Women, Miss Fronde
Kennedy; Leroy Dulin, President of the
Y.M.C.A. ; Lota Leigh Draughon, Presi-
dent of the Y.W.C.A. ; Jay Jackson,
Coach Baldwin, T. R. Waggoner, S. S.
Farabow, Blanche Barringer, W. W. Tur-
rentine, II. J. Herring, and Henry Belk.
Music was furnished by an orchestra
under the direction of Professor and
Mrs. K. B. Patterson.

Among the alumni whose faces have
been seen on the campus lately are to be
noted : Rev. B. H. Black, pastor of Gran-
ville Circuit; Rev. B. C. Thompson, pas-
tor of Oxford Circuit; Rev. W. W. Peele,
pastor of Edenton St., Raleigh; Rev. H.
M. North, director Educational Drive for
North Carolina Conference; James G.
Leyburn, B. B. Jones, Fred W. Cunning-
ham, Jack Lee, Thurman Gomez Vickers,

Duke 'n' Duchess Revived

The Duke V Duchess, campus humor
magazine, was reinstated to its pre-war
status by a majority vote at the last offi-
cial meeting of the Publications Board
prior to the June commencement. During
the war the Duke 'n' Duchess was com-
bined with the Archive because of lack of
editorial staff personnel.

Channing Hadlock, Stanton, N. J., was
elected editor, and Chester Middlesworth,
of Statesville, was elected business man-
ager for the school year 1946-47. Both
men are veterans.

According to present editorial plans,
the new Duke 'n' Duchess will closely pat-
tern the style of Yank, popular Army
publication, emphasizing pictorial fea-
tures, photo stories, and many cartoons.

tieth reunion to honor you in the best
Greek tradition as a consistent winner in
the stadium of life.

"By the authority of the Board of Trus-
tees of Colby College I confer upon you,

Editorial

(Continued from Page 167 )

"There are several stories which are
executed with exactitude and artistry.
William Styron, Jr.'s Autumn probes the
emotional repressions of the lonely niid-
dle-aged person with a psychological in-
sight reminiscent of the earlier period of
James, though without a similar density
of style. Frances Gray Patton's A Piece
of Bread, a subtle, delicate study of the
relationship between the 'haves' and the
'have nots,' is worthy of a permanent
place in Southern regional literature.

"The entire anthology is beautifully
illustrated by Duke University students
under the tutelage of Clare Leighton, the
English wood-engraver. One and Twenty
is the pleasantest surprise in the way of
anthologies to come along in some time."

AlL&d Stiipp. VUeM, '96, 2>ied

Albert Shipp Webb, '96, of Concord,
died at his home on the morning of June
20 after an illness of four months.

Son of a Methodist minister, Mr. Webb
was born at Oaks, in Alamance County,
on March 1, 1873. He spent his boyhood
in various parsonages in this area and
received his primary education in the
schools of that locality. He prepared for
college at the Webb School in Bell Buckle,
Tenn., a school founded and conducted by
his uncles, W. R. and J. M. Webb.

Mr. Webb entered Trinity College in
September, 1891, but dropped out in 1894
and 1895 to teach "free school" for a
year at Stem, in Granville County, and
at Davenport College, Lenoir.

Following graduation from Trinity Col-
lege, Mr. Webb served as principal of the
Rich Square High School and Readeland
Academy in Person County, and was for
three years superintendent of the Maxton
graded school. In 1908, he went to Con-
cord as principal of the Concord High

School, and in 1910 was made superin-
tendent of the Concord schools.

In 1943, after thirty-three years of
faithful service, Mr. Webb was retired
from the Concord school system with the
title of superintendent emeritus. Approx-
imately three months ago, he was signally
honored by having the city's primary
school named for him. In an appropriate
ceremony, the school was named the Webb
School.

Mr. Webb was one of the four remain-
ing charter members of the Concord Ro-
tary Club and had held offices including
that of president of the club. He was
most active in Red Cross work, and re-
mained a worker in the organization until
his last illness.

Surviving are his wife, the former Meta
Craig Stimson, of Statesville; one son,
Richard H. Webb, '24; two brothers,
Richard Webb, of Vista, Calif., and
Rufus Webb, of Mecklenburg County;
and one sister, Mrs. Jennie Cannon, of
Guilford College.

GAME!

All who are expecting to attend the
Duke-Tennessee football game in Duke
Stadium in conjunction with the Engi-
neering Homecoming on October 5 are
urged to order their tickets immediately,
since there is every indication of an early
sell-out.

The homecoming celebration will be

With the opening of pre-season prac-
tice scheduled for the middle of August,
football talk and anticipation of another
gridiron season begins to settle around
the campus.

In less than three weeks, Coach Wallace
Wade will begin moulding his first foot-
ball team since returning to Duke after
serving over three years in the armed
forces.

Tickets for home games were placed on
sale this month, and season tickets will
remain available to alumni through Au-
gust 15. Orders are now being accepted
for tickets to individual games which will
go on sale to alumni August 15-20.

Ducats for the Duke-Carolina classic
to be played in Chapel Hill on November
23 have sold so rapidly that the game is
sure to be sold out at a record date for
Blue Devil-Tar Heel contests.

In line with the increased interest in
athletics throughout the nation, three of
Duke's four home games are certain to

attract large crowds. Attendance at the
Tennessee, Georgia Tech, and Wake For-
est games should be among the largest
football crowds gathered in the state this
season.

Two first line members of the Sugar
Bowl Blue Devils have returned from the
service and are the latest lettermen to
return from past seasons. They are Fred
Hardison, tackle, and Reece Harry, end.
Both will add strength to the forward
wall which already has been bolstered by
the return of many old faces.

Centers Charlie Davis and E. P. Be-
thune, guards Gene Speacht and Ernie
"Bear" Knotts, end Ben Cittadino, and
tackle Clyde Redding — all Blue Devils of
former years — will be around for opening
practice under line coach Dumpy Hagler.
Ed Perini, Ed Austin, Kelley Mote, Ted
Marshall, and Al Di Rogatis return from
the 1945 campaign. All started up front
last season.

Letters

(Continued from Page 165)

laugh but I still think it was a good joke
on us — with our feeling of smug superior-
ity toward them. We had a chance to
show them what Americans could do
under adverse circumstances.

My brother was taken to the military
police and tortured. Most of my family
was critically ill at some time, but we
have all regained our health rapidly. My
parents were released after almost two
years of imprisonment and were caught
in the battle for Baguio. My mother was
saved, but my father was killed when the
American bombers bombed the hospital
where they took refuge. If it had not
been for this tragedy we could soon for-
get those years of unreality for there is
nothing here with which to compare that
life where we discovered the real mean-
ing of "shortages."

We lost everything except some flat
silver we hid in the wall of our house.
My husband was a hospital patient when
we were liberated from Bilibid prison
and was freed with only his pajamas. He
couldn't get out of bed until some kind
friend at St. Tomas loaned him a pair of
pants. We thought we had learned to
appreciate the simple things and be un-
complaining and that we at last realized
the unimportance of possessions. Never-
theless we have already started acquiring
things, and to hear us talk of the housing
problem you would never dream we once
fought for nineteen square feet to do all
our living in. One soon forgets. One
of the things we won't forget- is the way
the Filipinos endang-ered themselves by
helping us whenever possible. Don't let
anyone tell you the U. S. colonial policy
didn't pay dividends. The other unfor-
gettable memory is the contact we had
with the front line troops who released
us. Never were there kinder, finer men.

It is wonderful to be back and get ac-
quainted with civilization again, but al-
ready our interests are focused on the
Philippines — wrecked as they are. We
hope to return as soon as conditions per-
mit women to return. It looks as though
this was my chance to attend a class re-
union. I certainly do regret missing it.
Sincerely,

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, July, 1946

little more than he ex-

Early or late, he's a familiar

figure to every policeman
on the street— he's the Doctor
— he's on an emergency call!

• A Doctor's life isn't his own
to live as he chooses. There
are interrupted holidays and
vacations and nights of
broken sleep. Emergencies re-
quire his presence for long,
exacting hours . . . with some-
where a pause and perhaps
the pleasure of a cigarette.
Then back to his job of serv-
ing the lives of others.

t±L More Doctors smoke Camels

Nationwide

-*. than m other cigarette

The "T-Zone"-T for Taste and T for Throat

The"T-Zone"is your own
proving ground for any
cigarette. For only your
taste and your throat can
decide which cigarette
tastes best to yo«...and
how it affects your throat.
On the basis of the experi-
ence of many mil- v
lions of smokers, y.
we believe Camels
will suit your "T-
Zone" to a "T."

R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Winston-Salem, North Carolina

THE MAKERS of Camels are naturally proud of the
fact that, out of 113,597 doctors who were asked
recently to name the cigarette they preferred to
smoke, more doctors named Camel than any other
ta brand. This survey was nationwide, covered doctors
I in every branch of medicine — nose and throat spe-
cialists too. Three nationally known independent re-
search agencies made and vouch for the findings.

Try Camels. See how your taste responds to
Camel's full flavor. See how your throat likes Camel's
cool mildness. That's the "T-Zone" test (see left).

While I was on Guam I took pictures of Trimble Field — which
was dedicated to a marine who was killed on Iwo. He was a Duke
student. I thought perhaps his parents would like copies of the
pictures. Could you send me their address, so that I can write to
them? Also, if you'd like copies for the Alumni Register, I'd be
glad to send them.

I've now been home for three weeks. After six months on Guam
I went to Kwajalein, where I served for three months. It wras an
exciting place to be, for it was the center of "Operations Crossroads."
There were so many "VIPS" and brass hats milling around that
nothing less than a general could arouse any excitement. I believe
that I was the only Red Cross on the island to meet and talk to "Ike"
Eisenhower when he stopped briefly.

"Able Day" was an exciting day. We all rose at 2 :00 a.m., and
most of the military and Red Cross were evacuated to a nearby island.
I was one of the lucky ones allowed to stay on the island. We stood
there, just at dawn and watched "Dave's Dream" laboriously lift its
powerful load from the runway and head toward Bikini. When the
planes returned after their successful mission and buzzed the field,
we were waiting to give them coffee and donuts.

There still is nothing quite as exciting as coming home, and no
place quite as wonderful as the U. S. A. I don't want to roam for
a long time.

It may take a bit of prompting, but I usually do finally write.
Your card requesting info on me found me back at home — I'm recon-
verting easily.

As for my recent occupations, the training cruise of Cruiser Divi-
sion Fourteen predominated. The Duke graduates were placed on the
Columbia, so I didn't get to see them except when we chanced to
encounter in port — which was pretty regular. I am sure you have
heard um teen times where we went. I just missed seeing Bill Miller
in Newport, R. I. We did see Ned Goddard tho. And so on it
went : from Newport to Bermuda and a very large time, Maine, N. Y.
C, and Quebec — all interesting, instructional, and entertaining. They
kept me pretty busy in the Captain's Office, but I didn't miss many
liberties.

All the ship's company were very glad to put the student ensigns off
in Philadelphia when the time came on 28 June. Not that the guys
were hard to get along with or anything like that, but instruction
cruises are always a little tough on the "trainers" as well as the

DUKE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI REGISTER

Volume XXXII

August, I046

Number 8

Several years ago a monument was to be erected to
commemorate an important event in the life of a com-
munity. After tliP monument was built it was necessary
to move it several feet to a final resting place. The com-
mittee in charge of arrangements invited all interested
persons who wished to have a part in the ceremony to be
present at a designated hour. When the people were
assembled, they found that a number of ropes had been
attached to the structure and they were asked to take
hold of the ropes and pull the monument into position.
Many hands made the task light.

For many years alumni and friends have taken hold
of the various ropes and helped Duke University through
numerous channels, some in a small way and others in a
more generous manner, to reach a place of leadership in
the educational world. Friends of the institution and
the alumni continue to make contributions from time to
time, as indicated by stories which have recently appeared
in the Alumni Register. One described the gift to the
University by Frank Wall, an employee, in appreciation
of what the University has meant to him. Another told
of the establishing of a scholarship fund by an alumnus
to lrlp some worth-while student attend the University.
In the next issue there will be an account of two alumni
who gave of their time and energy to secure valuable
material in Europe during the war for the Duke Uni-
versity Library. These are only several of the many
contributions that have been made to the institution.

Never before in the history of the University have
alumni and friends had a greater opportunity to play
a vital part in her destinies. If Duke is to maintain her
place of leadership as a great institution and to continue
in the future as in the past to respond to the challenge
and accept the opportunities for service in the world of
today, alumni and friends must continue to make contri-
butions in many ways, both large and small, in service as
well as in a financial way, thus enabling Duke not only
to maintain the essentials of education, but also to add
educational extras which are so vital in the life of every
institution.

AdhniMJAHA,

November has been designated as "Alumni Month."
The Register feels it would be a fine thing if every
alumnus would decide to make in some way, between
now and the last day of November, a contribution to
Duke University and the Alumni Association, no matter
how small it might be. Think what it would mean in
the life of the institution to have 24,000 alumni indicate
their interest in a definite way.

The number of applications for admission to Duke
University has reached an all-time high. The admis-
sions committees have already accepted as many students
as possible for September, 1946, and there are several
hundred names on the waiting list. The number of stu-
dents accepted has been limited by classroom space and
teaching staff, as well as housing and service facilities.

We are calling this to the attention of the alumni
and suggesting, in case you have sous and daughters who
desire to enter the University for the academic year,
1947-48, that applications be made at the earliest possible
moment.

(le+niadeM

Annual meetings of local associations should be held,
if at all feasible, during September, October, and Novem-
ber. Officers of the local groups are urged to write the
Alumni Office for suggestions and aids in planning their
meetings. The earlier the meetings are held, as a rule,
the more successful thev are.

Homecoming is November 2, the day of the Duke-
Georgia Tech game. The annual barbecue luncheon, stu-
dent decorations on the campus, and other features have
been arranged for the day. Make your plans now to be
present. Housing facilities in Durham, as elsewhere, are
taxed to the limit. Be sure to make your reservations
well in advance. It might be wise to make them now.
A number of alumni have already made reservations in
nearby towns, such as Greensboro, Raleigh, Roxboro,
Oxford, and others.

If you have not ordered your football tickets, we sug-
gest that you send your order to the Athletic Association
immediately.

If you desire pictorials, catalogues, or other informa-
tion about the University, let us know. If you would
like copies sent to interested persons, please send us their
names and address.

This is your Alumni Office. Please use it as a clear-
ing house for information about your University and call
on us whenever we can be of service. Suggestions for
improvements are always welcomed.

Total of 4800 students enrolled — Veterans given preference in
selection — Housing is problem — Concert series announced —
Homecoming plans are made.

With approximately 4800 students ex-
pected to enroll for the fall semester of
the academic year 1946-47, the Univer-
sity is anticipating the largest registra-
tion in the history of the institution.

Although final enrollment figures will
not be available until after the formal
opening of the University on September
18, present plans call for a maximum en-
rollment of 2400 men in Trinity College.
The Committee on Admissions has been
operating on a planned policy whereby
eligible veterans are given priority in
selection over other applicants. Veterans
who attended Duke prior to entering the
service are given precedence over all
other veterans in order to allow them to
complete their graduation requirements.
The entering freshman class will total
approximately 400 men, over half of
whom are veterans. The remaining num-
ber have been selected from current high-
standing secondary school graduates.
Transfer students from other colleges
and universities were not considered for
admission by the Committee. This meas-
ure was taken in order to maintain the
University's policy of keeping the num-
ber of students in each class within the
scope of effective teaching methods.

The College of Engineering is planning
to accept no more than 350 students for
fhe fall semester. This total does not
include the incoming freshmen who will
be coming to Duke to begin their educa-
tion in the various fields of engineering.

The Woman's College will admit a
maximum number of 1000 students. East
campus dormitories, which have been re-
decorated and reconditioned during the
summer months, will be ready for occu-
pancy prior to the formal opening of the
University in mid-September. Women
students attending the Summer Session
of the University have been temporarily
boused in Crowell Quadrangle dormito-
ries under the clock tower on the West
campus.

Three hundred students have registered
in the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences and this total is not expected

to grow much more prior to the Uni-
versity's opening. The Divinity School
will have 130 students enrolled for the
fall semester.

There will be 280 students enrolled in
the School of Medicine during the com-
ing semester. The first-year class will
be made up of 72 registrants, of whom

52 are vetei'ans and

are women.

In

addition to the undergraduate students
in the School of Medicine, there will be
between 85-100 men, mostly veterans,
studying under the G. I. Bill of Rights,
who have enrolled in post-graduate
courses in the Duke Hospital. Other
enrollment figures of divisions affiliated
with the hospital include the School of
Nursing with 65-70 students, the School
of Dietetics with 10 students enrolled,
and the School of Physical Therapy with
a total of 12 registrants.

The School of Law, which has a Sum-
mer Session enrollment of 138 students,
will increase its total to 265 registrants
for the fall semester. Of this number,
150 will make up the first-year class.

With a total of 80 students already
enrolled, the Graduate School of Forest-
ry is likewise anticipating the largest
student group in its history.

In order to meet the housing demands
of an increased enrollment, University
officials have made several adjustments
to afford ample living space for all stu-
dents desiring to live on the campus. The
Duke dormitory system was originally
planned to furnish sufficient rooming
space on the campus for each student
studying at the University. With this
thought in mind, the University has
decided to place three men in each
double room and two men in each single
room, where feasible, throughout the
West campus dormitories. By this plan
of doubling-up in the rooms, students
will still have full benefit of living on the
campus with the facilities of the library,
the Union, and the physical education
department close at hand. Classrooms
will be kept open at night to afford
more study space for the increased stu-

dent body. Through a special agreement
with the Federal Housing Administration,
there are 38 married veteran students
living in Piedmont Village at Camp
Butner.

The academic year 1946-47, beginning
with the opening of the University on
September 18, promises to be an un-
usually successful one in every way.
In addition to the regular program of
the University's academic schedule, alum-
ni and other friends will be interested
in various special events to be held on
the campus during the coming session.

University Concert Series

The University Concert Series, under
the direction of J. Foster Barnes, has al-
ways attracted much attention in past
years. The program for the coming year
promises to fulfill the expectations of
those who have attended in years gone
by and to satisfy the tastes of those who
will be attending for the first time. The
1946-47 attractions include : James Mel-
ton, Metropolitan Opera tenor, on Oc-
tober 15; Wagner Opera Company pre-
senting II Trovatore on November I ;
Jooss Ballet on January 6; National
Symphony Orchestra on February 13 ;
and Tossy Spivakosky, brilliant Russian
violinist, on March 17.

This year's Concert Series will feature
two extra attractions in the performance
of S. Hurok's Original Ballet Russe on
Wednesday evening, November 20, and
the New York Philharmonic Symphony
under the leadership of Leopold Stokow-
ski on the evening of April 18. Dates
and other information relative to the
Concert Series will appear in the
Register from time to time.

Homecoming Day
Homecoming Day will be Saturday,
November 2, the day of the Duke-Georgia
Tech game. There will be a barbecue
luncheon for alumni on the campus at
12:00 o'clock. After the game fraternity
open houses and informal gatherings of
various kinds will be held.

Alumnae Week-end
For the first time since 1941, the an-
nual Alumnae Week-end will be held in
the spring of 1947. This program, in-

Gad W. Jlendic, fc., '41, Elected
£xee44>ime riisi Gato^a Service

Carl W. Herdic, Jr., '41, Williams-
port, Pa., is secretary and treasurer of
the newly formed Winged Cargo, Inc.,
the first licensed glider cargo service in
the United States.

Mr. Herdic was discharged from the
I*. S. Army Air Force with the rank of
Captain in September of 1945 and, to-
gether with two other veteran flyers, or-
ganized Winged Cargo, Inc., shortly
afterwards. The company's entire staff
is composed of veterans, all under the
age of 31.

The equipment of Winged Cargo, Inc.,
which has its headquarters in Philadel-
phia, consists at present of four C-47s

(cargo version of the DC-3) and eight
gliders, to be increased within the next
few weeks to eight planes and sixteen
gliders. The Civil Aeronautics Authority
license permits the company to operate
anywhere, with any type of cargo. Most
signed contracts to date have been for
cargoes either originating or terminating
in Philadelphia. Other offices will be
opened in several southern cities and in
Cuba and Puerto Rico. Also, flights to
South America and Europe are planned.
The pioneer flight, which took place in
late April of this year, was nonstop to
Miami, and continued from there to Cuba
and Puerto Rico, thereby demonstrating

the feasibility of glider flights over water.
The cargo included vaccines and drugs,
radios, hats, dresses, mushrooms, and
baby chicks. The second plane dropped
its glider at Moultrie, Ga., where it was
picked up on the return flight loaded
with 500,000 young tomato plants from
the Campbell Soup Company nurseries
in Moultrie consigned to Campbell con-
tract farmers in southern New Jersey.
This was the first of at least 80 flights
to be flown under contract for the Camp-
bell Company. At the present time,
Winged Cargo, Inc., has- three flights a
week to Georgia under the Campbell con-
tract and three flights a week to Puerto
Rico for another large business concern.
In addition to his executive and admin-
istrative duties as secretary and treasurer
of the newly formed air cargo company,
Mr. Herdic does some of the flying on
larger contract flights.

The above picture shows a Winged Cargo, Inc., C-47 taking off from the Philadelphia, Pa., Airport with a cargo-carrying
glider in tow. Insert shows (left to right) Carl W. Herdic, Jr., '41, secretary and treasurer, Col. Fred Dollenberg, president

£etfed Aid Clinic RendeU Qteat
S&uuce ta Public and StudenU

Handling over 5,000 applications for
legal aid since its establishment in 1931,
the Duke Legal Aid Clinic, directed by
Prof. John S. Brad way, has an outstand-
ing record of service rendered to the
Duke Law School, as well as to Durham
and North Carolina.

The Duke Legal Aid Clinic is unique
among similar clinics connected with other
university law schools in that it is in-
corporated as a part of the third-year
curriculum of the School. It was de-
signed with a two-fold objective in view,
to serve the public and to provide an in-
terneship program for students of the
Duke Law School. Taking work in the
clinic as a regular course, third-year law
students receive invaluable experience in
dealing with about ten actual cases a
year, in addition to assisting in the prep-
aration of briefs for lawyers in active
practice. Fourteen law schools had simi-
lar projects at the outbreak of the war
(among them North western, Harvard,
Cornell, Texas University, and the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati), but at these
schools the legal aid work done by stu-
dents is done in conjunction with local
legal aid societies.

The clinic accepts eases only where
the prospective client is unable to pay
a fee. It refuses cases if there is even
a possibility of a fee. Where there' is a
question whether the prospective client
can or cannot pay a fee, the matter is re-
ferred to a committee of the Durham
County Bar Association for its advice. A
full inquiry is made into the status of
every client who consults the clinic. If
he is at all able to pay fees and his case
is to be handled in Durham County, he
is given a list of attorneys who can han-
dle his case, but no particular attorney
is recommended to the client. Cases are
referred to the clinic by social agencies
or by attorneys whose schedules are too
crowded to accommodate them.

Members of the Duke Legal Aid
Clinic's staff are Alton J. Knight, All-
ston Stubbs, Edwin C. Bryson, and the
director, John S. Bradway. Main office
of the clinic occupies a suite of rooms on
the lower floor of the Law School Build-
ing. This office is open from Monday
through Saturday morning. Another
office is operated in the County Welfare
Department building next to the court

house in downtown Durham as a con-
venience to the clients.

During the war many of the cases
which the clinic handled involved serv-
icemen's problems. Landlord and tenant
cases are also predominant in the work
of the clinic which handles cases for both
Negro and white people. Work on crimi-
nal eases was discontinued for the dura-
tion of the war, but is being undertaken
again at present. A breakdown of the
cases handled in 1940-41 indicates 303
Durham eases, 65 cases from other loca-
tions in North Carolina, 31 cases from
other States and no cases from foreign
countries. In pre-war years as many as
five foreign cases have been handled in
a year.

Legal aid work is not a recent inno-
vation. It was a part of the Roman Bar,
the Medieval Ecclesiastical Bar, and the
English Bar. Organized legal aid work
began in New York City as early as
1876. Starting with one such organiza-
tion in 1883, there are at present more
than 143 scattered throughout most of
the larger and many of the medium-sized
cities in the United States. Nearly four
million persons who could not otherwise
have availed themselves of legal advice
and aid have benefited from organiza-
tions similar to the Duke Clinic. Rec-
ords of legal aid societies which have been
kept for a period of over twenty years
indicate that it is not unusual to expect
one legal aid applicant per hundred citi-
zens each year.

Over ninety per cent of the matters
brought to legal aid organizations are
disposed of without court appearance,
fifty per cent of the clients needing only
advice.

Organized legal aid work has always
been a humanitarian factor in the public
relations plank of the organized bar. In
North Carolina, bar associations or
groups of lawyers have rendered valu-
able service in the establishment or super-
vision of legal aid, the legal aid com-
mittee of the North Carolina Bar Asso-
ciation having functioned effectively in
this field for many years.

Director Bradway of the Duke Legal
Aid Clinic, who directed similar under-
takings in Philadelphia and Los Angeles
before coming to Duke University in 1931
to found the clinic, has exchanged cases
with Hassard-Short, secretary of the

Poor Persons Committee of the Law So-
ciety in England. The English society
corresponds in some measure to our legal
aid organizations. Advice has recently
been asked of Dr. Bradway concerning
the organization of a legal aid society
for Mexico, which evidences the amount
of foreign interest in legal aid work.

Alumnus Attends
Paris Conference

Michael Bradshaw, "23, formerly of
Durham, is among the nation's leading-
newspaper correspondents attending the
Peace Conference in Paris. Mr. Brad-
shaw, who left the United States by plane
on July 26, is representing the Toledo,
Ohio, Blade, of which he is an associate
editor.

Mr. Bradshaw's present assignment to
report on the proceedings of the Paris
Conference marks the second time he has
represented the press at an international
conference. As an associate editor of the
Pittsburgh, Pa., Post-Gazette, he reported
on the United Nations Conference on
World Security held in San Francisco,
Calif., April 25-June 26, 1946.

C. Heber Smith, '43,
Joins Alumni Staff

C. Heber Smith, '43, joined the staff
of the Department of Alumni Affairs on
July 1. Mr. Smith was employed in the
Department as a student; therefore, his
work will not be new but he will con-
tinue on an expanded basis his duties as
a full-time employee. His college educa-
tion was interrupted when he left the
University in February, 1943, to serve
as a lieutenant in the Army Air Corps.
He returned to Duke in September, 1945,
to complete requirements for his degree.

Carey V. Stabler Appointed
To Alabama College Post

The president and trustees of Alabama
College, state college for women at
Montevallo, Alabama, have announced
that Carey V. Stabler, Ph.D. '45, has
been appointed assistant to the president
of that institution.

Dr. Stabler served as assistant profes-
sor of history at Alabama from 1939
until 1943 when he entered the United
States Navy. He was discharged from
the Navy in 1945 with the rank of Lieu-
tenant and returned to Alabama College
for the spring term of 1946.

activities and featuring a nationally
known orchestra.

Sixteenth Annual
Duke Night Observed

Alumni and friends of Duke University
observed the sixteenth annual "Duke
Night" at Lake Junaluska on Monday
evening, August 12, at 8 :00 o'clock, in the
Assembly auditorium. One of the larg-
est crowds in the history of the observ-
ance was present to hear Dr. B. Harvie
Branscomb, Dean of the Duke University
Divinity School and chancellor-elect of
Vanderbilt University, speak. The sub-
ject of his address was "The Democracy
of Higher Education." Other features
of the program included special music
and a motion picture film, "A Year at
Duke."

Evkxixg Program

The program opened with introduc-
tory remarks by Prank S. Love, '08,
Superintendent of the Junaluska Assem-
bly. The audience joined in the singing
of "America," after which Dr. Mason
Crum, of the Duke University faculty,
delivered the invocation. Dr. Love in-
troduced his son Frank S. Love, Jr., '46,
and Miss Frances Safrait who sang a
special request number. Mr. Love and
Miss Safrait were accompanied by Mrs.
John H. Riley.

Dr. Love presented Charles A. Dukes,
Director of Alumni Affairs, who in a
few brief remarks spoke of the alumni
program and the University. Mr. Dukes
presided during the remainder of the
program.

In his address Dr. Branscomb referred
to some of the problems which have arisen
on college campuses brought about by the
tremendous number of G. I.'s seeking
educational opportunities. Dr. Branscomb
also said, "The G. I.'s on the whole have
brought about a notable change in cam-
pus sentiment. The veterans are out
for an education. The rah-rah attitude
is definitely absent. Higher education
has also become democratic for the first
time in our history, attendance at college
now being independent of family finan-
cial status.

"We are in the midst of a new period
in higher education, one that is creating
new opportunities and new problems."

The motion picture, "A Year at
Duke," was shown by C. Heber Smith,
assistant to the Director of Alumni Af-
fairs. Year after year this part of the
program has been enthusiastically re-
ceived bv the audience.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, August, 1946

Golottet lit ode, (letu/ml piam An*mf
i a Relume JieaA CoacU PalVticm

The "Old Master" of Duke football
has returned.

Back from the wars and the European
Theater where he served as an artillery
colonel in the thick of the fighting is
Wallace Wade, who is currently busy
■moulding his first post-war Blue Devil
football machine, one which must face
the toughest schedule of any Duke team
in history.

As football coaches go, Wade, who has
been on the inactive list for four and a
half years, still rates as tops in the
coaching profession.

In twenty-three years of building and
rebuilding football teams, Wade has been
a winner 177 times. His defeats amount
to only 36, while his teams have been
tied eight times.

Wade's football career began as a star
player for the Brown University team
which lost to Washington State in the
1916 Rose Bowl game.

After his graduation from Brown in
1917, he enlisted in the Tennessee
National Guard, later was shifted to the
cavalry of the regular army, where at
25 years of age he was promoted to the
rank of captain.

After his discharge in 1919, Wade was
offered the post of athletic director and
head coach of football at a military
school in his native state, Tennessee. At
Fitzgerald and Clarke began the road
to coaching success.

He won 15 games and lost only three
in two years there. His second season
was an undefeated one. Next season
found Wade at Vanderbilt as assistant
coach helping the late Dan McDugin lead
the Commodores to two perfect seasons.
Wade never tasted defeat at Vanderbilt.

In four years the "Old Master" had
chalked up 31 victories against three de-
feats, and all three setbacks had come
in his first year of coaching. But the
peak of his success was yet to come.

Wade moved on to Alabama in 1923,
and in the eight years in which he guided
the Crimson Tide he won 61 games and
lost only 13. In 1925 he was back in
the Rose Bowl — this time as coach of an
undefeated eleven. His 'Bama team
whipped Washington 20-19. Next season
and again in 1930 he returned to Pasa-
dena, and not once did he bring back a
defeated team. His 1930 victory over

Washington State avenged for Wade —
the coach — a loss suffered by Wade — the
player — some years before.

Wade was called to Duke in 1931. He
left behind in Alabama a record of four
conference and three national champion-
ships and began from scratch to put the
name "Blue Devils" in the national spot-
light.

At Duke he has won 85 games and lost
19. In eleven years he had led the Dukes
to six Southern Conference titles. He
went back to the Rose Bowl in 1939 and
had the Rose Bowl come to him three
years later. On each occasion the Blue
Devils were defeated by four points. His
1938 team which had finished the season
unbeaten, untied, and unscored-on main-
tained that record for 59 minutes in
Pasadena only to have the goal line
crossed with the game-winning touchdown
by Southern California in the last 30 sec-
onds of play.

His 1941 team was also undefeated
while setting a new university scoring
record. But in the transplanted Rose
Bowl game in Duke Stadium, his Blue

There has been an unprecedented ad-
vance sale of tickets to Duke University
home football games with Wake Forest,
Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Richmond.

Alumni who have not ordered their
tickets are urged to do so immediately.

Devils dropped another New Year's Day
classic to Oregon State. When Wade
left the gridiron that afternoon he
stepped out of football.

Next season found him back in the
Army as did the following two seasons.
Those three years were busy ones for
Wade with a little of everything from
coaching an army all-star outfit, nursing
a broken leg in an army hospital, to
dodging bombs in France and Germany.

In August of last year he was back in
civilian clothes, and he returned to Duke
as director of athletics, a post he held
before the war. But he was missing from
the gridiron.

The head coaching position was turned
over to Eddie Cameron, who had capably
served in that capacity during Wade's
absence.

On last January 1, Wade was again
made head coach of the Blue Devils, and
when Duke opens with N. C. State in
Raleigh on September 28, the "Old Mas-
ter" will be at the helm for the first time
since his last Rose Bowl defeat over four
and a half years ago.

Most of the candidates now out for
practice are new to him for he has seen
only a few of them in action before, and
even fewer have ever served under him
as head coach.

He's expecting no world-beater this
fall, but those two words synonymous in
southern football — Wade and Duke — to-
gether with other aspects of post-war
football, suggest that the Blue Devils will
perform before packed houses many
times when the coming season gets under-
way.

Joe BrunaDsky Named
Delaware Line Coach

Joseph L. Brunansky, '38, Beaver
Falls, Pa., has been named the line coach
of the University of Delaware football
team beginning this fall, according to a
recent statement made by the Director of
Athletics of that institution. This an-
nouncement followed a meeting of the
Delaware University Board of Trustees
at which Mr. Brunansky was named an
instructor in physical education on the
Delaware faculty.

While at Duke, Brunansky's playing
won for him All-Southern honors and
AU-American mention in 1936 and 1937.
He has played professional football and
has had experience as a college and Army
football coach. He was released to in-
active duty by the Army with the rank
of captain last April.

I must admit that I have been very lax in keeping in contact with
your office. I have been getting the Duke Alumni publications quite
regularly, and they have been a source of interesting and enjoyable
reading the past year or so. I do hope to continue receiving them in
the future.

I was in the Marine V-12 unit at Duke from July 1943 to Novem-
ber 1944 as you know. And then I was transferred to the University
of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where I completed the requirements for a
B.S.E.E. degree in February, 1946. At that time I was commissioned
a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Eeserve and was placed on
inactive duty. I returned to Michigan right after discharge from the
service and attended' the spring term. I have completed half of the
requirements for a Master's degree, and I intend to return to Michigan
in Sept. to finish the work. During the fall and spring terms I was
in quite a few classes with Professor Vail of the College of Engineer-
ing (Electrical Engineering Department) who completed work for his
M.S. degree in June. It was quite enjoyable working with him, and I
hope to take time out in the near future to visit Duke to see him and
other acquaintances I made while at Duke.

My home address is still 4415 Cedar Lane, Drexel Hill, Pa.

Enclosed you will find a small contribution which I wish to make
to the Alumni Fund in appreciation for the publications and concern
that I have received in the past. I will try to be more frequent with
my letters to the office in the future.

2,000 JOHNSON Room-by-Room THERMOSTATS

To many people, control systems are modern miracles.
Most of us seldom give a second thought to the small
Johnson thermostat on the wall of each room — the
instrument that works as part of a whole system to
control large or small heating plants. As a result,
every room is as warm or as cool as needed, and fuel
is not wasted. These comforts are made possible by
automatic control without effort on the part of man
... a modern-day wonder.

Think what automatic temperature control systems
mean to such institutions as Duke University! Beauti-
ful, large buildings are made comfortable and useful
with correct temperatures, hour by hour . . . fuel is
being saved by the minute. Architects planned Duke
to be one of the world's most modernly equipped
universities for many years to come.

Johnson engineers have spent years solving temper-

ature control problems in many climates. It is natural
that Johnson was selected to cooperate in building the
finest control systems that engineering science could
devise. Temperatures in Duke University buildings
are controlled by Johnson. In passing from the large
chapel into the classrooms, greenhouses, gymnasium,
library and into a host of other buildings, it is under-
standable that temperatures of many varied degrees
are required . . . using some 2,000 thermostats.

Important in large institutions, Johnson Control
Systems offer the same advantages of comfort, health-
fulness and fuel saving for smaller buildings. What-
ever the control problem, Johnson specialists co-
operate to assure precision results. Consult a near-by
Johnson engineer— no obligation. JOHNSON SERVICE

DUKE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI REGISTER

Volume XXXII

Number 9

lietfMwUnXf the A/eat ^Jelm

For the first time since July, 1943, all undergraduate
classes on both campuses are operating on a pre-war
schedule. The greatest number of students in the history
of the institution were on hand to begin classes and every
classroom was filled to capacity. In spite of crowded
conditions, the University is conscious of her responsi-
bility in maintaining a high educational standard. Every
effort has been made to see that classroom facilities are
available and that the teacher load is not extended be-
yond the point of efficient instruction.

The program is constantly being examined and changes
made so that Duke may make the greatest possible con-
tribution in this post-war period. A number of new
faculty members have been added to the staff and every-
thing put in readiness for what is expected to be one of
the outstanding years in the history of the University.

If Duke University is to use to the fullest all of her
capacities, the alumni must be aware of their place in
her program. As alumni of Duke University, it is our
duty to do everything possible within our power to see
that our University is in a position to maintain her place
of leadership in the educational field. One of the best
ways we can do this is by reorganizing our local associa-
tions so that we, as alumni, may stand ready to render
service whenever Duke calls on lis. Letters have been
mailed to the officers and the local groups calling their
attention to the annual fall meetings. It is sincerely
hoped that each local association will have a meeting of
some kind during the fall months, preferably, if at all
feasible, before December 11, Duke University Day.

May we suggest that it is not too early for the officers
and members of the local groups to begin now formulat-
ing plans for the fall meetings. From past experience
we know it is necessary to plan carefully and far in ad-
vance if the occasions are to be as successful as desired.
If plans are not already underway, it would be well to
call together committees and make arrangements. The
committees should consider carefully the kind of meet-
ing, the place, and other important essentials. As soon
as the committees have been appointed, a place selected,
and the kind of meeting decided upon, the chairman
should write the Alumni Office and ask for an up-to-date
list of alumni within the geographical bounds of his
association. This is very important for in the past
several months many alumni who were formerly in the
armed services have returned to their respective homes
and an up-to-date list would include the names of most
of these. The Alumni Office will be glad to furnish the
committee, if it wishes, a list of the parents of students

now attending Duke University from its vicinity. It has
been the custom for many years for the group, when
meeting, to invite the parents of students attending Duke
from their area to attend the meeting. It is hoped that
this custom will be continued.

The annual fall meeting gives the alumni an oppor-
tunity to get together with their fellow alumni, renew
acquaintances, and receive up-to-date information about
alumni activities and the University. It enables them to
organize, to hold an election of officers, and to formulate
plans for the coming year. Committees can be appointed
and their duties outlined so that they can carry on the
work of the association. Each group, if it is at all
feasible, should discuss and outline some specific alumni
project. It is not necessary to complete such a project
in one year; but it will crystallize the interest of the
group and give it an objective. The group should also
discuss how it may aid the University in her program.

The entire Alumni Office staff is ready to cooperate in
every way possible towards helping each association plan
and carry out a complete program of activities. The
Alumni Office can furnish films of campus activities and
football films, which will help to round out the program
or may be used as a basis upon which to build a pro-
gram. It also can furnish pictorial booklets, pennants,
and other materials which can be used for information or
decorating purposes.

It would be an excellent idea if every alumnus would
go to the officers of his local association or the committee
on arrangements and tell them he is ready to cooperate
to the fullest towards making the meetings this year a
success, and, if he is not called on for any service, to
hold himself in readiness so that when the announcement
of the meeting is made he will find it possible to attend
and lend his support.

We are sure that we can count on the "Duke Spirit"
to see that the meetings this year set an all-time record

associations is that every group will sponsor a worth-
while project and rrake a definite contribution to the
University each year.

Traditional flag-raising ceremonies — Veterans predominate in
enrollment — Return to peacetime schedule — Housing problem
being met — President welcomes new students at reception.

The first normal peacetime session of
the University began on Thursday morn-
ing, September 19, at 8:00 o'clock with
an enrollment for the 1946-47 academic
year showing a total of 5,121 students in
all schools and colleges.

Fifty-two new teachers have been
added to the faculty in order to accom-
modate properly the increased enroll-
ment of the University. Trinity College
has a total of 2,527 enrolled, and the
Woman's College 1,000.

Flag-raising ceremonies at 11 :00 a.m.,
Wednesday, September 18, marked the
opening of the academic year on the
West Campus with John E. Seward,
President of the student body, presiding
at the exercises. Anton Brees, Univer-
sity Carillonneur, opened the program .
with the playing of "America" and closed
it, as the crowd dispersed, with a short
selection. Allan H. Bone led a brass
choir in the playing of "The Star
Spangled Banner" while the flag was
being raised, and, to climax the program,
J. Foster Barnes led the students in the
singing of "Dear Old Duke."

The traditional flag-raising ceremonies
for the opening of the Woman's College
were held at noon on Thursday, Septem-
ber 19, at the East Campus flagpole.

The vast majority of upperelassmen
at Duke this year are veterans, and ap-
proximately sixty per cent of the 430
new freshmen who arrived on the campus
for the orientation week prior to the
formal opening are also former service-
men.

Dr. Robert L. Flowers, President of
the University, received the new students
at a reception at the University House
Sunday afternoon, September 15, this
being the first such event ever held.
Through the sponsorship of student or-
ganizations on the two campuses, a num-
ber of other social activities were also
included in the orientation schedule of
tests and examinations for entering stu-
dents. Approximately 200 former stu-
dents were back on the campus to assist
in the placing of new students.

Classes for undergraduates began on
Thursday morning, September 19, with
Trinity College, the College of Engi-

neering, and the Woman's College back
on the same schedule for the first time
since the Navy Training Program was
instituted in 1943.

Opening dates for the various other
schools, with the approximate enroll-
ment figures for 1946-47, are: Dietetics
School, September 1, 10; Forestry
School, September 19, 80; the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences, September
21, 350; Law School, September 23, 265;
Divinity School, September 24, 142;
Xursing School, October 3, 275; Medical
School, October 7, 280; Physical Therapy
School, October 7, 12.

To meet the demands of the increased
enrollment, the housing situation at the
University has been adjusted as much
as possible to room two men in single
rooms and three men in double rooms
where such an arrangement is practical.
Forty-two married veterans are housed
at Piedmont Village at Camp Butner.
The University has assisted both married
and unmarried students as far as pos-
sible in obtaining accommodations
throughout the city and has also made
known to incoming students the pro-
spective trailer housing accommodations
to be installed by the City of Durham,
which has secured commitments from the
government for 78 trailers for veterans.

Plan Annual tf-all MeetincjA

Two local alumni associations have announced plans for early meetings this
fall as alumni organizations throughout the country swing back into the full peace-
time activities which were temporarily interrupted during the war.

These meetings are the first of the annual meetings of local alumni organiza-
tions to be held between now and December 11 as a part of the regular fall alumni
program. The Alumni Office has received many letters from local associations indi-
cating' their plans for meetings during the fall months, as well as letters from alumni
asking for information concerning the founding of new local groups. Present indi-
cations are that the major portion of the more than 70 local alumni associations
will hold annual meetings this fall, and that many new groups will be organized.

Rochester

The Rochester, N. Y., Chapter of the
Duke University Alumni Association will
hold an outing at the Main Lodge in
Webster Park on Saturday, October 12.
Supper will be served out of doors if
the weather permits; otherwise, an indoor
supper will be arranged. Featured en-
tertainment of the evening will include
the showing of a campus motion picture
film, and the 16 mm. color, sound film
of the Sugar Bowl game. Also featured
at the meeting will be group singing of
Duke songs. Arrangements for the meet-
ing are under the direction of John D.
Klock, '37, President of the Rochester
organization.

Alamance County

The Duke University Alumni Associa-
tion of Alamance County has announced
its plans for a meeting at the Alamance
Hotel in Burlington, N. C, at 7:00 p.m.,
October 22, with Professor James T.
Cleland of the Divinity School as the
guest speaker. Arrangements for the
program are being made by Rev. L. C.
Larkin, '17.

Baltimore

For several years both the alumni of
the Baltimore area and the University
have been interested in organizing an
Alumni Association in Baltimore. As
there are now more than 175 former
Duke students residing in that city, and
as many of this number had expressed
a desire for such an association, an or-
ganizational meeting was held at the
Parish House, Grace & St. Peter's
Church, 707 Park Ave., Baltimore, on
September 27, at 8 :00 P.M.

Army and Navy Game
Open Houses Planned

Open houses will be held following
the Duke-Navy and the Duke-Army
football games next month under the
sponsorship of the local alumni groups
in Baltimore and New York respec-
tively.

An open house will be held at the
Hotel Stafford, 714-716 North Charles
Street, Baltimore, on Saturday,
October 12, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.,
just following the Duke-Navy game.
All alumni and their guests are in-
vited to attend the gathering.

The Duke Alumni Association of
New York will hold their third annual
open house in the Gold Room of the
Hotel Ambassador, Park Avenue and
Fifty-first Street, following the Duke-
Army game Saturday, October 26.
All alumni attending the game are
urged to be present for this annual
get-together of out-of-town and local
alumni.

John W. Winkin, '41,
Joins Sport Magazine

John W. Winkin, '41, Englewood, N.
J., has recently been appointed assistant
editor of Sport Magazine, a new Mac-
Fadden monthly publication which covers
every feature in the field of sports.

While enrolled at Duke, Mr. Winkin
represented the University in four var-
sity sports. He was awarded a varsity
letter in soccer for the season of 1939
and another for the same sport in 1940.

During his senior year, he was awarded
a letter in basketball and another for
baseball. Throughout his undergraduate
career, Mr. Winkin was active in all
phases of the intramural athletic pro-
gram.

Immediately after his graduation in
June of 1941, Mr. Winkin attended the
U. S. Naval Midshipman Training School
at Columbia University in New York. He
was commissioned with the rank of En-
sign in the Naval Reserve in the fall of
1941 and was assigned to destroyer duty
with the Pacific Fleet. After almost five
years of active duty, he was released to
inactive duty in July of 1946, with the
rank of Lieutenant Commander. At the
time of his discharge, he was command-
ing officer of the Navy destroyer, U.S.S.
Cowell (DD 547).

Not long after leaving the service, Mr.
Winkin accepted the position of assistant
editor of Sport and associated himself
with such notables in the field of sports
writing as Grantland Rice, Ernest Heyn,
Bill Cunningham and Frank Graham.

*lwa Alumni Search Out Atub
Wok JlitesiaUvie fob Juilvuxsuf,

A substantial contribution to the Duke
JJniversity Library has been made by two
former students, who have collected and
sent to the library hundreds of German
and Italian books, pamphlets, and peri-
odicals, chiefly dating from the war
years. These have been added to the per-
manent collection in the main library on
the West Campus.

The German collection was made by
Lieut. David L. Cozart, '38, of Raleigh,
N. C, at his own expense, and given to
the University. He continues to send ad-
ditional materials from his station in
Berlin.

So interested was Lieutenant Cozart
in undertaking this work for the library
that he volunteered for the service. He
sent a telegram asking the Library
Council to wire him collect in Berlin if
such materials as he could gather were
wanted by the library.

The first shipment of books received
from Lieutenant Cozart contained valu-
able materials on the German labor
front. He has subsequently sent many
publications on the military, political,
and educational activities of the Na-
tional Socialist Party, during both the
pre-war and war years.

The Italian collection was made by
Capt. William D. McCain, Ph.D. '35, of
Jackson, Miss., and includes hundreds of
books which he gathered on his own ini-

tiative at no cost to the library, as well
as many titles specifically requested by
the library which he bought under the
direction of J. P. Breedlove, Librarian
Emeritus.

The assistance of Captain McCain in
tracking down desired material was en-
listed early in 1945. He made countless
trips to bookdealers and libraries in
many parts of. Italy in searching for re-
quested publications. One of his con-
tacts was Libreria Gia Mardecchia, agent
for Duke and other American universi-
ties before the war. Acquisitions in-
cluded long-desired titles, among them
the compilation of L. A. Muratori,
Rerum Italicarum Scriptores raccolta
degli Storici Italiani dal Cinquecento al
Millecinquecento.

Among the most interesting of the ma-
terials collected by Captain McCain are
those portraying Italy at war. Through
his efforts the library now has first-rate
source materials on the social, economic,
and political make-up of the Italian cor-
porative state under wartime conditions.
Included are statutes, decrees, and other
documents, issued both by Mussolini's
old government and by the new govern-
ment which he set up in northern Italy
in 1943.

Though faced by such problems as in-
flated prices on the Italian book market,
a shortage of packing supplies, and

numerous shipping difficulties, Captain
McCain succeeded in sending to the li-
brary a total of one hundred and one
packages, containing a wealth of ma-
terial which will prove of great value
to students of the Italian state of the
past twenty years.

Both the German and Italian collec-
tions contain a vast amount of ephemeral
propagandists material — posters, broad-
sides, pamphlets, and newspapers —
which throw much light on the means
employed by both governments in direct-
ing popular sentiment.

As has been noted, Lieutenant Cozart,
still in Berlin, continues his generous
services to the library. Captain McCain
has been discharged from the Army and
has returned to his former position as
Director of the Department of Archives
and History, State of Mississippi.

My mother forwarded your letter to
me, but this is the first opportunity I
have had to answer your letter. I wish
everybody could be as proud of his
school as I am of Duke. It is wonderful
to know that those men in charge of your
school are thinking of you even while you
may be so far away. Of course I will
be only too glad to let you know when I
change my address. I will be here in
Utah for a few days. I am on my way
overseas. I am almost positive it will be
in the Tokyo area. I will send you my
new address as soon as I get settled.

The happiest day of my life will be
when I return to the Duke campus. I am
glad to know that I have been accepted
for the 1947 term. I will keep in close
touch with the admissions committee
while I am away.

The annua] Duke Homecoming this
year will approach a normal peacetime
basis for the first year since the war
began. With indications already that it
will be the largest ever held on the Uni-
versity Campus, alumni are taking full
advantage of their first post-war oppor-
tunity to attend the festivities, climaxed
by the Duke-Georgia Tech game in the
Duke Stadium Saturday afternoon,
November 2.

Many of the traditional and colorful
aspects of pre-war Homecomings are
being renewed this year as wartime
shortages become somewhat alleviated.
While the civic parade in downtown Dur-
ham will be missing from the program
because of the shortage of materials and
vehicles, the Durham merchants will hold
a window decoration contest, with prizes
for the winning displays. Adding to . the
color of the occasion will be student

house decorations on both campuses on
a scale to equal the pre-war displays,
with prizes for the winning exhibits.

Activities of the day will open with
registration in the Union Lobby on Sat-
urday morning. The annual outdoor
barbecue luncheon will be held at noon
behind Crowell Quadrangle, weather per-
mitting, and in case of inclement weather
will be moved inside to the concourse of
the new gymnasium.

Following the football game, the fra-
ternities are planning on a revival of
their traditional open houses for return-
ing alumni. This feature has been ab-
sent from wartime Homecomings be-
cause the fraternity sections were taken
over for the housing of service personnel
and the student body in general.

Housing facilities in Durham and
vicinity are expected to be taxed to the
limit. All alumni who plan to visit the

members and students this year.

One of the best-known landmarks of old Trinity College, the building is well
known to older alumni of the University. Once slated to be demolished because
of its condition, the dormitory will again be pressed into use to serve a new gener-

well in advance.

The annual Alumni and Alumnae
Council meetings will be held on Satur-
day, November 9, the day of the Duke-
Wake Forest game, rather than in con-

tions, to alleviate to a certain extent the
overcrowding of housing facilities in the
city.

Held at University

The fifth Southeastern Personnel Con-
ference, conducted at Duke University
on August 22 and 23 under the direction
of Dr. Frank T. deVyver of the Univer-

Dr. Charles Abram Elhvood, professor
of sociology, emeritus, at Duke Univer-
sity and former President of the Ameri-
can Sociological Society, died at his home
on Pinecrest Rd., Durham, from a heart
attack suffered shortly before ten o'clock
on the morning of September 25.

Born at Ogdenburg, N. Y., in 1873,
Dr. Ellwood had completed almost fifty
years of active service as a teacher and
administrator of sociology. He was the
author of over a hundred technical arti-
cles on sociological subjects in various
professional journals. His first book,
"Sociology and Modern Social Prob-
lems," published in 1910, sold more than
300,000 copies, the most widely dis-
tributed book on sociology ever published.
He has been one of the outstanding
opponents of post-war military training
in the country in recent months, urging
Congress to reject all thoughts of uni-
versal compulsory military training, in
order to prevent what he termed "a pro-
letarian revolution, similar to the Rus-
sian revolution of 1917."

Dr. Robert L. Flowers, president of
Duke University, has been publicly ac-
claimed by the Brethren of Park Lodge
of San Francisco, California, as an
American and Mason who has contrib-
uted generously to the weal of this nation
and to the furtherance" of Masonic prin-
ciples. The name of the distinguished
educator appeared recently in the official
bulletin of that organization as one who
"merits all due acclaim for his fine task
as president of Duke University."

An invitation to visit Park Lodge in
California has been extended to Dr.
Flowers by the Worshipful Master,
Joseph W. Sanford, who states "We are
proud to salute you as an American and

Dr. Joseph A. Speed, director of stu-
dent health at Duke University for the
past 26 years, resigned that position,
effective July 31, and was succeeded by
Dr. E. L. Persons, assistant professor of
medicine.

"Dr. Speed has never spared himself
in his devotion to his duties and he has
earned the gratitude of the student body
and of the University officials. It is,
therefore, with deep regret that the Uni-
versity accepts his decision to give up
his position," Dean W. H. Wannamaker
said in accepting the resignation. "The
friends of the University, its officials and
the staff, as well as the students who
knew him, will remember with apprecia-
tion the contribution he made to the in-
stitution. Dr. Speed always did more
than was expected and was unselfish in
his service," Dean Wannamaker said.

As college physician Dr. Speed had
been in charge of student health since
September of 1920, from which time he
had been in continuous attendance with
the exception of a leave of absence sev-
eral years ago. When Trinity College
became Duke University he was made
director of student health on both cam-
puses. Well known by many generations
of college students at the University, Dr.
Speed gave unstintingly of his time and
energy in serving the needs of the stu-
dents. Often called from his bed in the
small hours of the morning, he has
driven many a sick student to the hos-
pital in the days before the infirmary
was established, and later on he took
them in many instances from their dor-
mitories to the infirmary or hospital.

With the increased enrollment of stu-
dents on both campuses of the University,
increased medical facilities became neces-
sary. Beginning this fall men students
are under the care of Dr. Persons, and
women students under Dr. Erma A.
Smith, who assumed the position of
Woman's College physician the first of
September.

Dr. Persons received the A.B. degree
from Ohio State University and the M.D.
degree from the Medical School of Har-
vard. He served an interneship and
residency in medicine at Massachusetts
General Hospital and had a teaching fel-
lowship in medicine at Harvard before
coming to Duke as resident in medicine
in 1930. He has been successively in-

structor, associate, and assistant profes-
sor of medicine here. During World
War II, Dr. Persons was chief of the
medical service, serving as colonel of the
65th U. S. General Hospital, the Duke
unit which was stationed in England.
He returned to Duke in November, 1945.
Dr. Smith received her A.B. degree
from the University of Kansas, the Ph.D.
from the University of Chicago, and the
M.D. degree from Rush Medical College
in Chicago. She has a distinguished rec-
ord as an instructor in physiology and as
a physician. For the past several years
she has been student health physician at
Michigan State College at East Lansing,
Mich., which position she held prior to
assuming her duties at Duke University.

Philip Kennedy Active
In Youth Council Group

A unique organization, known as the
Youth Council on the Atomic Crisis, has
been formed at Oak Ridge, Tenn., where
the first atomic bombs were made, with
Philip Kennedv, who worked on his
Ph.D. at Duke in 1943-44, as one of the
sponsors.

Active in the TVA area which is their
home, members of the group have ap-
peared before many civic, social and busi-
ness organizations to promote their
thesis "that atomic energy shall be dedi-
cated to peace."

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, September, 1946

Alumni Wal QalualUel

Confirmation of the death of Ensign
Ralph Bernard
Myers, '45, of Can-
ton, Ohio, in the
South Pacific on
December 21, 1944,
has been made by
the Navy Depart-
ment to his parents.
Ensign Myers was
supply officer on
L. S.'T. 749, which
was reported lost during an engagement
with the enemy. His parents were noti-
fied January 9, 1945, that he was missing
in action. Five months later he was de-
clared lost in action. His commanding
officer and a fellow serviceman have sup-
plied the parents with a complete account
of the tragedy.

Entering Duke in 1941, Ensign Myers
was active in the R.O.T.C. He entered
the Navy July 1, 1943, and planned to
return to Duke to take his degree on
being discharged.

Sgt. Charles Robert Marshall, '46, of
Martin, Ky., reported missing in action
by the War Department for the year
following July 21, 1944, has now been
officially pronounced dead, his widow has
been informed.

Completing Aerial Gunnery and Avia-
tion Mechanics early in 1944, Sergeant
Marshall went overseas June 5 of that
year. On his second mission as a waist
gunner on a B-24, his plane was shot
down over Phfashafen, Germany, about
32 miles from Berlin. His pilot told
Mrs. Marshall that he was killed by an
88 MM shell from a German fighter
plane. He entered service on August
20, 1943.

Lt. (jg) Edward Harold Johnson, Jr.,
'39, of Orlando, Fla., was killed in a
plane crash at Flagstaff, Ariz., in Feb-
ruary, 1944.

A veteran Wildcat fighter pilot, Lieu-
tenant Johnson went through some har-
rowing experiences during his service in
the South Pacific. Both the United
Press and International News Services
featured stories of his narrow escape on
June 7, 1943, when he bailed out follow-
ing an attack on his plane by 20 Japa-
nese Zeros.

He spent the next 10 days wandering
from one small island to another in the
enemy-held New Georgia Islands. After
recovering from minor injuries and ex-
posure, he built a raft from parts of
wrecked rafts that had been washed
ashore. Floating between islands for
several days, he lived on a diet of coco-
nuts and chocolate rations until he could
induce a native to give him food and
water. He then made his way to the
beach, where, after a two-day wait, he
was picked up by a Navy flying boat,
and taken to a hospital.

Enlisting in the Naval Reserve in

1940, Lieutenant Johnson was later se-
lected as a candidate for the Midship-
men's School at Northwestern University,
from which he was graduated in June,

1941, as a Deck Officer with the rank of
Ensign. He later volunteered for the
Air Corps, in which he was commissioned
an Ensign the following June. He was
married a month later in Chicago to Miss
Willena Catherine Smith. She and
their daughter, Linda Lee, survive.

Lieutenant Johnson was prominent in
track at Duke.

First Lt. Victor Leon Vogel, '41, of
Sterling, Kan., has been declared dead
by the War Department following his
failure to return to his base in England
from a mission over enemy lines in
Europe early in 1944.

He was one of 44 Thunderbolt pilots
who disregarded a dwindling fuel sup-
ply to give aid to Liberators when they
were attacked by enemy fighters in a raid
over Ludwigshafen, Germany. All were
recommended to receive awards for gal-
lantry in action.

Lieutenant Vogel planned to return
to Duke to study law. He entered serv-
ice January 13, 1942.

Lt. John Hastings Stillman, '35, of
Troy, N. Y., was drowned on February
2, 1945, while swimming for help off
the southwest coast of Luzon, Philippine
Islands, the Navy Department has an-
nounced.

Lieutenant Stillman was in command
of six motor torpedo boats, and on the
date of his death, was patrolling with
two PT boats when they were hit by

enemy fire. All members of the crew
were safely helped to a shoal by Lieu-
tenant Stillman, who then started to swim
to an allied ship for aid. When last
seen he was uninjured and swimming to-
ward help.

Second Lt. Merwin William Jacobson,
Jr., '43, of Baltimore, Md., has been de-
clared dead by the War Department after
failure to receive any communication
from or about him after he had been
missing in action for a year.

Lieutenant Jacobson was co-pilot of a
B-24 reported missing on a flight over
Hungary on October 16, 1944.

At Duke he was a prominent baseball
and basketball player. He entered serv-
ice February 26, 1943.

Lt. Leonard Aaron Kornblau, '42, of
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was slain by an en-
raged mob of Nazi civilians July 21,
1944, after parachuting to safety.

The murder was reportedly ordered by
the son of a Nazi town leader as Lieu-
tenant Kornblau and other members of
his crew, all of whom were slain, were
being taken to the German Army for
internment at Urach Village, Germany.

A pilot and squadron leader of a Fly-
ing Fortress group, Lieutenant Kornblau
was on his 35th mission when his plane
was shot down. He received the Air
Medal and two oak leaf clusters on com-
pletion of 30 missions.

He entered the Army on Armistice
Day, 1942, and won his wings the fol-
lowing Oct. 1.

Ensign David William Emmett, '40, of
New York City, has been officially de-
clared dead by tha Navy Department.
Hope that he would be found alive was
given up in October, 1944, after he had
been reported missing in action for a
year.

Ensign Emmett took off on a flight
October 22, 1943, and was never heard
from again.

Entering service in September, 1940,
he received his flight training at the
Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Fla.

At Duke, Emmett was a letterman on
the swimming team and co-captain of the
team in 1940.

Dr. Glasson Writes
"Song of Trinity"

(Students of Dr. W. H. Glasson,
former dean of the Graduate School,
will be interested in one of his recent
poems, entitled "Song of Trinity,"
which was published by the Durham
Herald in August. Dr. Glasson has
maintained his keen interest in all ac-
tivities both at Duke and in Durham.)

SONG OF TRINITY

(Suggested by Cornell's Alma Mater

song. Tune, Annie Lisle)

In the heart of Carolina,

Upward from the sea,

'Twixt the mountain and the lowland

Stands our Trinity.

Chorus
Lift the chorus, speed it onward,
Loyal sons are we;
Hail to thee our alma mater.
Glorious and free.

Close upon the busy humming

Of the bustling town.

From her home in pine and oak wood

Looks she proudly down.

Chorus
Lift the chorus, speed it onward,
True her sons shall be;
True to thee, dear alma mater.
True to Trinity.

Standing all with strength united,
Jealous of her fame,
Country's flag a-floating o'er us.
Hearts with love aflame;

Chorus
Lift the chorus, swell it upward,
Loyal sons are we,
True to thee strong alma mater,
Noble Trinity.

Col. L. L. Montague, '35,
Awarded Legion of Merit

Col. Ludwell Lee Montague, Ph.D.
'35, of Arlington, Va., who was separated
recently from the Army, won an enviable
record during the five and one-half years
of his service, which won him the Legion
of Merit.

The insignia was presented in a cere-
mony in the Pentagon Building, in Wash-
ington, in the presence of his wife, the
former Miss Fanny Catlett, and their
daughters, Ann Jeffry and Letitia Nelson.

A native of Gloucester County, Vir-
ginia, Colonel Montague's permanent
residence is at Ware Neck, Virginia. He
is the son of Major and Mrs. Jeffry Mon-
tague, of Ware Neck.

Colonel Montague completed his for-
mal education by qualifying for a Ph.D.
degree at Duke in Latin-American affairs
in 1935. The thorough academic train-
ing he had in his field was the contribut-
ing factor in the success he achieved
during his years in the service, the
Colonel has told friends.

His prior education was received at
Virginia Military Institute, where he re-
ceived a B.A. degree in 1928, and at
the University of Pennsylvania, where
lie won his M.A. degree.

Called to active duty as a Captain in
Cavalry in 1940, he was assigned to the
Latin-American section of Military In-
telligence for approximately a year. Fol-
lowing that, he was with the Joint In-
telligence Comnrttee, and on his separa-
tion from the service Colonel Mrntague
entered the State Department en a c'vil
service status, where he is carrying on the
work he did so successfully for the Army.

DON'T FORGET ENGINEERS'
HOMECOMING OCTOBER 5

All engineering alumni are reminded
that their reunion will be on Saturday,
October 5. A meeting will be held at
10 A.M. in room 110, Asbury. Tickets
for the football game with Tennessee
and room accommodations should be ar-
ranged for immediately.

A special reunion will be held by the
class of April, 1943. Twenty members of
that class, accompanied by their wives
and dates, will attend a dance at the
Forest Hills Club House that evening.
Prior to the dance, a banquet will be
held at the Washington Duke Hotel.
Similar plans are being formulated by
the classes of October, 1943, and Febru-
ary, 1944.

FORMER STUDENTS RETURN

Dean W. H. Hall revealed that the
roster of students enrolled for the com-
ing fall term included 125 former Duke
students. Familiar faces are plentiful on
the campus this year.

WORK ON NEW BUILDING
PROGRESSES

Work is progressing satisfactorily on
the new Engineering building on West
Campus. The building will be ready for
occupancy in the fall of 1947.

ENGINEERS' HOMECOMING

October 5, 1946, the day of the
Duke-Tennessee football game has
been selected as homecoming and re-
union for the engineering alumni.
This will be the first occasion of this
kind to be held since 1942. It is
hoped that all members of the asso-
ciation will find it possible to be
present.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, September, 1946

Blue jbemll Meet State College
9n l/inp/ie&ictable £eadon Opened

Duke's veteran-manned 1946 Blue
Devils swing into action on September
28 against N. C. State's Wolfpack in
Raleigh. For both teams the game will
mark the opening of what promises to
be the most confusing, mad-house season
on record.

But even on the eve of the opening
game the situation in the Blue Devil
camp is in a state of confusion. Head
Coach Wallace Wade has yet to name
eleven men as the cream of the crop —
the starting team. While other coaches
in the state were able to pick a tentative
starting eleven after a few days of prac-
tice, Coach Wade merely divided his
varsity into four teams with no designa-
tion as to how the teams were rated.

Only ten days ago, Wade made his
first shift in the lineups of the teams.
Still he made no reference to a starting
eleven, simply because he was unable to
do so. Duke may not have a perma-
nent first string until the Tennessee game
on October 5, or later.

There are several reasons for the gen-
eral state of confusion. First of all,
Coach Wade has been away from the
gridiron for four years. The members
of the squad are strangers to him. Only
three members of the varsity have ever
played on Wade-coached teams.

To add to the confusion is the fact
that a large number of the candidates
are, like their coach, returning to foot-
ball after several years in the service
during which time they never saw a
football practice field. It has been hard
for Wade and his assistants to tell
whether or not the old "football veterans"
have regained their form. It has been
hard to tell whether certain newcomers
have looked exceptionally good or
whether they have looked comparatively
good because the returning veterans are
not performing up to par.

Two 1945 starters returned to bolster
the end position. They are Kelley Mote
and Ed Austin, who performed creditably
last year. Four former lettermen, one
from last season, are back to give Wade
enough reserve strength on the flanks.
Bill Duncan saw lots of action as a fresh-
man in '45. Ben Cittadino won All-
Southern honors in 1943 on the same
team with which Herman Smith, who is
also back, played. Fourth veteran back
is Reece Harry, a 1945 Sugar Bowl

starter. Newcomers without varsity ex-
perience are John Muse of the 1942
freshman team, Jack Gleason, and John
Karmazin, brother of former Duke
tackle, Mike.

Only two tackle candidates have ever
played that position for the Blue Devils.
They are Fred Hardison. another Sugar
Bowl starter, and Clyde Redding, a re-
serve on the '42 Rose Bowl squad. Al
DeRbgatis, an alternate center last
season, was shifted to tackle in the
spring. All three candidates have shown
up well in fall practice. Leading the
newcomers is Louis Allen, a freshman
from Greensboro, N. C, who has looked
great as a defensive stalwart in the line.
The rest of the tackle candidates, includ-
ing Allen, are without varsity experience,
but they have shown great promise. They
are Harold Mullins, Bob Oenbrink. Jack
Reese, and Dick Gardinier.

Ernest Knotts and Captain-elect Bill
Milner head the list of guard prospects,
but only Milner appears sure of a start-
ing berth. Milner won All-America hon-
ors in 1943 while a member of the Duke
marine unit. He is regarded as the great-
est guard ever to play for a Duke eleven.
Knotts won some All-America recogni-
tion for his fine play last year. Other
leading candidates are Garland Wolfe,
a starter in 1944; Bill Davis and Jim
Groome, first line members of the 1942
freshman team; Jim O'Leary, a reserve
tackle last season; and Jimmy Knotts,
brother of Ernie, and Tom Chambers,
a pair of first-year men who have looked
exceptionally good in practice.

Fletcher Wall, a big 6 foot, 2 inch
ex-naval officer, returns after two years
of sea duty to head the list of centers.
Wall was a starting pivotman on the
great 1943 Blue Devil team, but he'll
get plenty of competition for the start-
ing nod from newcomers Frank Sinko-
vitz and Carl Perkinson and 1945 re-
serve Tommy Harris. This position is
probably the most undecided of all. Wall,
Sinkovitz, and Perkinson have looked
just about even in fall drills, and all three
men have served enough time on the
sidelines nursing minor injuries to slow
up the hot race for the starting post.

Duke's backfield material does not
stack up to the baekfields of neighboring
North Carolina and Wake Forest, but
there are enough former stars trying out

for the positions to stir up trouble for
the opposition if they regain their top-
playing condition. George Clark and
Buddy Luper head the list of tailback
candidates, and they will alternate at
this key position over the coming cam-
paign. Luper was an All-Southern start-
er for Duke at tailback in 1942 and 1943.
After Luper left for service overseas,
Clark stepped in to spark the Duke
offense in 1944 and 1945. Clark is the
more outstanding runner; Luper, the
better passer. Clark's running ability is
compared to that of Ace Parker and
George McAfee, and he ran and passed
himself to All-America honors last sea-
son.

Back of Clark and Luper are little
Roland Hodges, a fine scat back, and
Bob Frye, Herb Hipps, and Bob Owens.

Wide open is the race for wingback
with Buddy Mulligan, Howard Hartley,
Fred Folger, and Bettis Herlong all
promising. Mulligan ran well in 1943,
when as a reserve he played in three
games before entering the service. Hart-
ley was second string tailback that same
year, and Folger, also on the '43 team,
ran as a reserve from the fullback spot.
Herlong was an alternate tailback with
lots of speed and good kicking ability
as a member of last year's squad.

Only fullback returning with previous
experience at Duke is Leo Long, who al-
ternated at the position for the 1941 un-
beaten Blue Devils. Long was shifted
to blocking back where he played in 1942
and 1943. But back at his old position
he has shown more drive in practices this
fall than he showed in 1941. He's a little
heavier, no slower, and has a pretty fair
passing eye.

Pressing Long for the starting assign-
ment are Buddy Strauss, Frank Inmau,
and Ben Williams — all newcomers.
Strauss and Inman are small but fast.
Williams is bigger but slower.

Blocking back is still wide open with
five leading candidates. One is Bob
Gantt, the All-America end of 1943 who
has been moved to the backfield. Others
are Charlie Davis and E. P. Bethuue.
Both Bethune and Davis alternated at
center on the 1942 team but, like Gantt,
will now do their playing in the bacK-
field. Newcomers are John Montgomery
and Jack Eslick.

Approximately 12,000 tickets, located
in the upper stands and in the field
bleachers and a few in the concrete
stands, remain for the Duke-Tennessee
football game to be played in Duke
Stadium, Saturday, October 5. Alumni
are urged to send in their orders at the
earliest possible moment.

when General Electric
men and women retire

Every General Electric employee with
a year or more of service will be eligible
to receive a life income upon retirement,
offered under the provisions of the com-
pany's greatly broadened and expanded
Pension Plan.

This plan provides a pension for the
years already worked, at no cost to em-
ployees. For this, the company pays the
entire cost, estimated at $100,000,000.

To increase this retirement income as
the years go on, employees and the com-
pany will jointly contribute to the fund.
On the average, about two-thirds of fu-
ture costs will be paid by the company.

This plan makes 100,000 more employ-
ees eligible under the company Pension
Plan. Over 40,000 employees were already
in line for pensions under plans begun by

General Electric as early as 1912.

The new program— one of the most ad-
vanced in the industry —is part of General
Electric's long standing objective to help
employees provide security for themselves
and their families, both through the years
of productive work, and upon retirement.

It is another General Electric "job
dividend"' like employee insurance, profit
sharing, and financial help in case of sick-
ness or accident,

•'Job dividends" iike these help make
General Electric a good place to work.
They help to attract and hold the kind of
men and women who are responsible for
the company's growth and success. And
they demonstrate General Electric's belief
that making good jobs is an important
part of making fine products.

From Robert D. Rickert ('45)

Economies Department
Mil. Govt. Ryukyus
APO 331 c/o Postmaster
San Francisco, California
September 6, 1946

I'm now a civilian in name and spirit, but in actuality I have trans-
ferred to the Army. Since November I have been on Okinawa attached
to Navy Military Government. Since July the Army has operated
M.G. and after a turnover period Navy personnel were scheduled to go
home, but the Army's offer of employment as a civilian employee of
the War Department was quite attractive, especially when compared
to conditions back home, so I was discharged out here and have taken
a job as an economist.

There have been few places in the world more totally destroyed
than Okinawa in this war. Ninety-five per cent of the dwellings were
rubble when the dust cleared. One-quarter of the pre-war population
was dead. Thousands were wounded or starving and suffering from
weeks, even months, hiding in the mountains and in caves. Most Mili-
tary Governments have assumed control of populations which had at
least some remnants of government, economy, law and order; but not
so here. Navy M.G.'s task therefore has been to administer a mass
disaster relief program to half a million people, to restore and intro-
duce governmental institutions, to plan and re-establish an economy.
It has been with this latter phase that I have been associated, and a
fascinating job it has been. I know of no better way to learn basic
economics than to watch a society in restoration. My present job is
that of Assistant Commerce Officer, a job corresponding roughly to an
Okinawan OPA — just call me Chester.

You will recall Nancy TVrenn who was a May Queen several years
ago — the year the May Court caught poison ivy from the "garlands."
She's been here for over a year as a Red Cross girl and was recently
runner up in a Queen of the Ryukyus contest. Outside of Nancy, all
the half-dozen Dukesters have shoved off.

I'm also sending a contribution to the Alumni Fund which I hope
you'll apply toward a subscription to the Alumni Register. You'd
be surprised how much I've missed keeping up with the wedding bells.

eMamecQjtttiicj,

The 1946 Homecoming of Duke alumni promises to be
an event that will be long remembered. The date is No-
vember 2, the day of the Duke-Georgia Tech game. Ad-
vance indications from alumni from every state in the
Union are that it will be a record-breaking occasion as to
interest and attendance.

Committees of alumni, faculty, and students, together
with the entire Alumni Office staff, have been making
every effort to see that complete and detailed arrange-
ments are made so that the returning alumni will enjoy
the occasion to the fullest. There will be something to
interest the alumni during every minute of their stay on
the campus, beginning with the registration on the second
floor of the Union at 9 :00 o 'clock Saturday morning and
going through the Chapel Service and organ recital on
Sunday.

Homecoming this year will be significant not only be-
cause it will give the old grads and their friends an op-
portunity to meet and greet each other, to renew old
acquaintances, and to form new ones ; but it will mark, as
well, the first time that many of the alumni who are re-
cently out of uniform have had an opportunity to return
to the campus for a visit. It will also be a high point in
the alumni program for the year, thus fulfilling the prom-
ise of making this one of the most successful years in the
history of Duke University.

We urge every alumnus and alumna who can possibly
arrange to attend Homecoming to do so. Participation
in the various events on the program will give a better
understanding of the University, the alumni program,
and the relationship between alumni and the institution.
After having enjoyed the visit, every alumnus will return
home with a new and deeper feeling of interest in and
appreciation of his or her responsibility to the University.

If you have not already made your arrangements to
attend, will you not do so now and call this event to the
attention of other alumni with whom you may come in
contact? Let us make it the best Homecoming ever held
on the Duke University campus.

■Alumni Mo*ttlt

Within a few days after you receive this issue of the
Alumni Register, it will be November, which has been
designated as Alumni Month for 1946. Of course, every
month should be alumni month in the minds and actions
of the alumni; but this particular period has been set
aside on the Alumni Office calendar as a special time for

thought about alumni activities and a rededication to
alumni loyalty and service. There are many things that
the alumni can do to further the interest of Duke Uni-
versity and the alumni program. In thinking about this
matter we hope that the alumni will consider especially
ways in which they may cooperate with the University
and the Alumni Office. We are listing a few of these.

It will be a good time to make a donation to the Gen-
eral Alumni Fund, if you have not already done so.

Reflect on what you, as an alumnus, have been doing
and what more you might do.

If you feel so inclined, write a letter to the Alumni
Office making any suggestions or constructive criticisms
that may occur to you.

Think what your local association or class might be
doing in behali~df Duke University. If either group has
a special project, resolve to do your part towards helping
to bring the project a bit closer to completion.

The Alumni and Alumnae Councils will hold their an-
nual fall meetings on November 9. We urge all members
of the Councils to put a red circle around this date and
make plans to attend. At these meetings there will be re-
ports on the alumni work and discussions of plans for the
coming months.

%cdl MeetUtfA

One of the most important functions of the Alumni
Office is to cooperate with the local associations in carry-
ing out a complete year-round program of activities. The
high point for the local association is its annual meeting
held each fall. Many of the more than seventy organized
groups have already sent to the Alumni Office a definite
date for their meeting or have indicated that they plan
to hold a get-together some time in the near future. It
is sincerely hoped that every group will complete its plans
for a meeting and notify the Alumni Office so that the
entire staff inay cooperate in every way possible with
the local group.

May we suggest that, if you have not already received
a notice of a meeting of your group, you get in touch
with the officers, suggest a meeting be held, and offer
your services. If you are not called on in connection with
the plans for the meeting, hold yourself in readiness so
that you can attend the meeting and show your interest
and lend your support.

One new local association has been organized in the
past few weeks, and there are indications that several
more will be started by the first of the year. This in-
terest on the part of the alumni is most gratifying.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, October, 1946

"0h ta jbuAkam" G>uf HaUiel Alumni

Registration of Returning Alumni — Informal Gatherings and
Campus Visits — Outdoor Barbecue Luncheon behind Crowell
Quadrangle — Duke- Georgia Tech Football Game — Carillon
Program — Campus Decorations — Downtown Window Displays.

"On to Durham!" is the general cry
of Duke alumni throughout the nation as
the largest,- most enthusiastic Homecom-
ing in the history of the University ap-
proaches on November 2. Classmates
who have been separated and scattered
around the world during the war years
and old college friends who have been
prevented from attending war-curtailed
Homecomings are planning to make the
'46 Homecoming one which will be long
remembered in the annals of the school.

Registration of the Homecoming
alumni will begin at 9:00 o'clock Satur-
day morning, November 2, on the second
floor of the West Campus Union. The
place of registration, in former years the
Union Lobby, has been moved this year
to the second floor because of the gen-
erally crowded conditions existing with
the increased enrollment. All alumni are
urged to register as soon as they arrive
on the campus. This will give returning
alumni a chance to see other returning
alumni and visit with members of the
faculty, administration and the local
alumni association who will be on hand
as a welcoming committee.

From 9 :00 a.m. until noon there will
be committee meetings, informal get-to-
gethers, and opportunities for alumni to
renew old acquaintances and friendships.
At noon the annual barbecue luncheon
will be held in the usual place behind
Crowell quadrangle, weather permitting.
In the case of inclement weather, the
luncheon will be served on the concourse
of the new gymnasium.

Between the time of registration and
the luncheon, alumni will have an oppor-
tunity to visit about the campus and see
the changes which have taken place since
their last visit. Notable among these
changes is the new Engineering Building
which is taking form rapidly. In addi-
tion, alumni will want to admire the cam-
pus decorations erected by the various
student organizations on both campuses
especially for the festivities of the day.
These dormitory decorations will be un-

der the direction of BOS on the West
Campus and S.G.A. on the East Campus.

Kick-off for the Duke-Georgia Tech
football game is scheduled in the Duke
Stadium for 2 :00 o'clock Saturday after-
noon. Prior to the kick-off time there
will be a program of pre-game music for
which all alumni will want to be present.
Needless to say, the football game will
provide an afternoon of thrills and ex-
citement which is traditional of the long-
standing rivalry between the great Duke
and Georgia Tech elevens. The game
promises to be one of the highlights of
the national fall gridiron schedule.

During half-time at the game, the Duke
and Georgia Tech bands will take over
for customary between-half activities,
which help lend the familiar color and
sparkle to any grid contest.

Immediately following the football
game, an infqrmal carillon recital will
be presented for the enjoyment of the
throngs expected to remain on campus
for the remainder of the day's activities.
It is sincerely hoped that all alumni who
arrive too late to register before the game
will stop by the Union and register im-
mediately following the game. Special
arrangements have been made for an in-
formal get-together on the second floor
of the Union following the game. Out-
of-town alumni are invited to be the
guests of Quadrangle Pictures on Satur-
day evening, and may obtain their tickets
for the movie at the registration desk on
the second floor of the Union when they
register.

Included in the activities planned for
the remainder of the afternoon and the
early evening following the football game
are Open Houses in the chapter rooms of
each fraternity on campus. This pre-
war custom has just been revived this fall
with the return of the fraternities to their
dormitory sections.

It has become the custom during the
past several years at Homecoming cele-
brations for many of the alumni to re-
main overnight and attend the University
Service of Worship in the Chapel at
11 :00 o'clock on Sunday morning. This
year Dr. Frank S. Hickman, Dean of the
Chapel, will deliver the Homecoming ser-
mon. For those who remain over for the
day on Sunday, there will be an organ
recital in the Chapel at 4:00 p.m., pre-
sented by Mildred L. Hendrix, University
organist.

All in all, the '46 Homecoming is ex-
pected to return nearer to a normal
peacetime basis than it has any year
since the war began. Indications are that
it will be the largest ever held on the
University campus. Because of the war-
time shortage of materials and vehicles,
the annual Duke-Durham civic parade
cannot be included this year. However,
to replace the parade, the Durham Cham-
ber of Commerce is sponsoring a window
decoration contest among downtown
stores and merchants as a part of the
Homecoming festivities. Prizes will be
awarded for the winning window dis-
plays.

Many J-acal rllunisu QatlieiitUfA

This fall promises to be, for local asso-
ciations, one of the most active periods in
their entire history. Many of the groups
which were inactive during the war years
are reorganizing, new associations are
being formed, and those with limited pro-
grams are expanding them to include
many activities, such as open houses,
luncheon meetings, and informal get-to-
gethers. Several of the local associations
have announced a complete year-round
program which includes a definite project
for the group.

Associations which have already held
annual meetings or have planned definite
meetings are as follows :

Western North Carolina Conference
op the Methodist Church

Duke alumni attending 'the annual
Western North Carolina Conference of
the Methodist Church in Asheville, North
Carolina, held their annual dinner meet-
ing in the Battery Park Hotel roof gar-
den, Thursday afternoon, October 3, at
5 :30 o'clock. Rev. Malcolm Reese pre-
sided and more than 200 alumni were in
attendance. Dr. Robert E. Cushman, as-
sociate professor of Systematic Theology
in the Duke Divinity School, was the
guest speaker. Dr. Cushman was intro-
duced by Rev. L. W. Scott.

Charles A. Dukes, Director of Alumni
Affairs, was introduced by Mr. Reese.
Mr. Dukes brought greetings from the
University and then introduced Dr.
Charles E. Jordan, Vice-President and
Secretary of the University.

The invocation was pronounced by Rev.
Clifford H. Peace and the music was in
charge of Rev. Paul R. Taylor. Rev. R,
W. MeCulley led the group in the sing-
ing of "Dear Old Duke" and "Blue and
White."

Rev. J. Max Brandon, Jr., and Rev.
Howard C. Wilkinson were appointed
managers of the dinner for 1947. They
were also asked to serve as representa-
tives to supervise the raising of funds
from the Duke alumni in the Western
North Carolina Conference to help sup-
port the convocation to be held at Duke
as soon as feasible.

Baltimore, Md.

The Baltimore alumni, who are in the
process of organizing a permanent asso-
ciation, sponsored an open house follow-

ing the Duke-Navy game on October 12,
from 4:30 to 7:30p.m. at the Hotel Staf-
ford. The arrangements for the open
house were in the hands of a planning
committee appointed at an organization
meeting held on the evening of Septem-
ber 27. William B. Somerville, '38, is
chairman of the committee. Final plans
for the organization of a local association
were formulated at a meeting held on the
night of October 16. Details of the meet-
ing will be published at a later date.

Other Groups
The following groups have already
completed plans for a meeting:

Rochester, N. Y. — October 12, Main

Valualde Sendee to QtiaduateA

Offering specialized help to Duke
graduates, the Duke Appointments Of-
fice, located in Page Auditorium, has suc-
ceeded in introducing 226 men and
women to well-paid commercial jobs
during the past year. In addition, it
has placed 121 graduates in teaching
posts.

The office functions not only for sen-
iors who are seeking first jobs, but also
for graduate and professional students
and alumni who are desirous of a change
in position. It co-operates with all de-
partments on the campus in an effort to
find the right person for each job listed.
It is from this close co-operation and
from the care and time devoted to each
applicant that the office has received its
respected position in the opinion of the
nation's personnel sections.

Under the nationwide commercial place-
ment service offered by the Appointments
Office, forty graduates have found em-
ployment in personnel capacities during
the past year, twenty-four in accounting,
nineteen in engineering, eighteen in sales,
fourteen in management, thirteen in air-
lines work, and twelve in advertising.
The remainder of the persons who se-
cured positions found them in the fields
of banking:, law, commerce, research,
radio, government, merchandising, jour-
nalism, and other commercial occupations.
Under the more unusual forms of occu-
pation in which Duke graduates were
placed this year can be listed cartog-
raphy, translation, and fashion.

The teaching positions filled were
chiefly in English, science, upper gram-
mar, elementarv, history and social sci-
ence, and mathematics. In addition to
regular teaching posts, three deanships
were secured for graduates. The demand
for teachers far exceeds the supplv
available in the Duke Appointments Of-
fice as elsewhere. A total of 4,202 teach-
ing credentials were mailed from the of-
fice during the year.

The commercial division had 227 new
registrants this year and 123 re-regis-
trants. Credentials for 1,328 registrants
were mailed to prospective employers.
Calls for 495 engineers were received
and 334 students were recommended for
engineering positions. Fifty-seven stu-
dents were recommended for the ninety
managerial calls. In answer to 146 re-
quests for salesmen, 150 men were rec-

ommended, while 59 registrants were
referred to the firms requesting a total
of 128 persons in the field of chemistry.

Eastern Airlines interviewed 29 stu-
dents. Ford Motor Company interviewed
22, and Reynolds Metal Company inter-
viewed 21 prospective employees. Al-
though these companies interviewed the
largest single numbers of students, they
are but a few of the firms who issued
1,454 calls for employees. These com-
mercial firms are in addition to the 1,560
schools and colleges which requested

teaching personnel from the Appoint-
ments Office.

The largest number of applicants who
were placed with a single firm took posi-
tions with General Electric Corporation,
which employed five registrants. Four
airline industries employed a total of
nine applicants, while the Dupont Cor-
poration hired three men.

Of the 357 students who gained em-
ployment through the Appointments Of-
fice, nine took positions in Durham and
26 in North Carolina. The largest group
to take employment in one state were the
35 who accepted positions in New York,
most of these being in New York City.
Positions were secured in a large number
of cities from as far south as Houston,
Texas, west to Stockton, Calif., and north
to Cambridge, Mass.

Alumni, Alumnae Gounoili Plan

The annual Alumni and Alumnae Coun-
cil meetings will be held on Saturday,
November 9, the day of the Duke-Wake
Forest football game.

Again this year, the Council meetings
are taking place on a date other than the
Homecoming date to alleviate to a slight
extent the overcrowding of housing and
dining facilities on campus and in the
city. The annual luncheon for the two
Councils has been changed this year from
the West Campus Union to the Union
building on the Woman's College campus.
As in the past, it will be served at noon.

Both Council meetings are scheduled
for 11 a.m. on November 9. The Alumni
Council will meet on the second floor of
the West Campus Union, and the Alum-
nae Council will gather in the alumnae
room of East Duke Building on the

Hospital Pharmacy
Training Veterans

The Duke Hospital Pharmacy has
now been approved for on-the-job
training for veterans. Excellent train-
ing is provided in hospital pharmacy
administration, policy and manufac-
turing.

Pharmacists accepted will rotate
through the sterile solution, general
manufacturing, hospital, and out-pa-
tient clinic dispensing units. In addi-
tion to the salary supplied by the
hospital, the veteran receives a sup-
plementary allowance from the gov-
ernment which varies from $65 to $90
per month.

Under the direction of Capt. A. M.
Kowalzyk, USN, the Duke University
NROTC unit resumed its peacetime pro-
gram at the beginning of the fall semes-
ter. The Duke unit, one of fifty-two
permanent Naval Reserve Officers' Train-
ing Corps units throughout the country,
was established on the campus, and ad-
mitted its first class of future officers, in
1941. Recently reorganized under new
Congressional legislation, the present
NROTC trains officers for service in both
the regular Navy and Marine Corps, as
well as reserve officers.

The present students are enrolled in
three separate categories: regular NROTC
students, contract students, and naval sci-
ence students. The regular students are
those who are enlisted as Midshipmen,
USNR, and intend to earn regular Navy
commissions at the end of their four-year
training period. These students have all
their tuition, fees, and books paid for by
the government. In addition, each of
them is paid a retainer salary of $600
per year. These men must attend sum-
mer training periods of six to eight
weeks duration every summer.

The contract students are enrolled in
the NROTC program as civilians and re-
ceive commissions in the Naval or Ma-
rine Corps Reserves upon graduation.
These men receive no pay during their
first two years in the program, but re-
ceive a commutation of rations allowance
(currently 65 cents per day) during their
last two years. Contract students are
obligated to take one training cruise
during their undergraduate period.

The naval science students are those
men who cannot be taken into either of
the aforementioned classifications because
of quota restrictions. They take regular
Naval Science courses, are furnished
books and uniforms at government ex-
pense, and may be admitted to the
NROTC in an advanced standing if a
vacancy occurs. They receive no remu-
neration of any type during their time
in the program.

All freshmen who desire to enter the
NROTC unit must meet the following re-
quirements: (a) qualify in a Navy-admin-
istered nation-wide examination; (b) be
selected by a regional board of Naval of-
ficers established for that purpose; (c)
satisfy all the entrance requirements of
some institution having a NROTC unit;

and (d) be accepted by that institution
as a regular student.

Every regular NROTC student is obli-
gated to serve at least fifteen months
upon completion of his training course,
and may be required to serve 24 months
if his services are needed, unless released
sooner by the Secretary of the Navy.
The summer training sehedide for these
men consists of two summers on cruise,

and one summer spent at an aviation base
undergoing intensive training in that
branch of the service. For men who are
candidates for commissions in the Marine
Corps, the second summer cruise is re-
placed by a training period at a Marine
camp.

While enrolled as undergraduate stu-
dents in Trinity College or the College
of Engineering, the NROTC students
must complete 24 hours of Naval Science
courses, one course per semester while in
college. The four-year course in Naval
Science is designed to give the student a
broad naval education covering commu-
nications, ordnance and fire control, navi-

faculty tyeatu/vel

The Executive Committee of the Duke
University School of Nursing has an-
nounced the addition of four new mem-
bers to the staff.

Heading the list is Miss Catherine Con-
boy, recently discharged from the Nurse
Corps of the United States Army, where
she served as a captain, and director of
U. S. Senior Cadet Nurses from 1944 to
1946. Miss Conboy has been appointed
assistant dean.

Miss Margaret Belle Binkley has been
named science instructor, and Miss Ruth
E. Hunter, a graduate of the Swedish
Hospital School of Nursing, Minneapolis,
Minn., has been appointed nursing arts
instructor. The last of the new ap-
pointees is Miss Muriel Menick, who will
serve as assistant nursing arts instructor.

Dr. Douglas E. Seates, professor of
education, now on leave from Duke Uni-
versity while working in Washington,
D. C, is the author of an article, en-
titled "Federal Support of Research,"
which was published in the October, 1946,
issue of The Phi Delta Kappan.

Dealing with the recently proposed
federal legislation to aid research in the
field of physical sciences, Dr. Seates ad-
vocates that the field of social science be
added to any list of federal scientific
beneficiaries. He wrote the article as a
part of his work as chairman of the Phi
Delta Kappa Commission on Research
and Program.

Dr. Alban G. Widgery, professor of
philosophy, recently displayed in the
Woman's College Library his large col-
lection of Indian miniatures which he
acquired during his long residence in

tained many from the fifteenth to the
nineteenth century period.

Janies Melton Presents
Opening Concert of Series

James Melton, singing star of stage,
screen, and radio, opened the Duke Uni-
versity All-Star Concert series with a
concert in Page Auditorium Tuesday eve-
ning, October 15.

Melton is currently leading tenor of
the Metropolitan Opera Association. He
had a starring role in Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer's film production "Ziegfield Fol-
lies," and he has appeared on the "Tex-
aco Theatre" and several other radio
programs in the past few years. Since
launching his career as a tenor in 1928,
Melton has been one of the most active
figures in the musical world, and in all
branches of entertainment. During the
war years he devoted much of his time to
appearances for service men.

The concert, which was a complete sell-
out, was characterized by program va-
riety with arias, Irish country songs,
American folk ballads and those of old-
world countries.

R. L. Durham, '91,
Recovering from Illness

Friends of Robert Lee Durham, B.S.,
Trinity '91, will be glad to hear that
Professor Durham is now much improved
after his recent illness.

Professor Durham, who is president of
Southern Seminary at Buena Vista, Va.,
is remembered as one of the founders of
the 9019 Society at Trinity College. He
is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and
ODK. From 1895 to 1912 he was a
trustee of the college.

He is also noted for having made the
first kick-off in North Carolina football \
on Thanksgiving Day, 1888, as a full- 1
back of the Trinity College team in thej
game against the University of North
Carolina played at Raleigh. In addition,
Professor Durham was assistant editor-
in-chief of the Archive; high-jumper on
the track team; catcher, second baseman,
and clean-up hitter on the baseball team.

Chronicle Founder Hoffman
Returns for Campus Visit

Urial N. Hoffman, '07, returned to the
campus recently for the second time since
he graduated from Trinity College twen-
ty-nine years ago. One of the two found-
ers of the student newspaper, the Chron-
icle, Mr. Hoffman is now teaching jour-
nalism at Stadium High School, Tacoma,
Wash.

Getting an early start in his life's
work, Mr. Hoffman edited the Trinity
Park Gazette, the literary organ of the
preparatory school once operated in con-
junction with Trinity College. In 1905
Mr. Hoffman and Thomas M. Stokes, '06,
organized the Chronicle, with H. Gilbert
Foard, '06, as the first editor. The suc-
ceeding year, Mr. Hoffman became the
second editor. At present he is the old-
est living former editor of that publica-
tion, Mr. Foard having died in 1930.

Leaving Trinity College in 1907, Mr.
Hoffman first worked on the Charlotte
Observer and then the Tacoma (Wash.)
Ledger. He taught journalism at Le-
land Stanford University from 1916 un-
til 1918, after which he began his long
career at Stadium High School.

Author of three high school journalism
texts, Mr. Hoffman has had three books
published in the past twelve years: "See,
Know and Tell-Well," "Student News-
paper Advertising," and "Student Jour-
nalism." At present he is on a leave of
absence from his teaching duties at
Tacoma.

Marc Veillet-LaVallee, '20,
Has Colorful War Career

Marc Veillet-LaVallee, '20, at present
working with the Ministry of National
Economy in France and a recent visitor
to this country, has had an extremely
colorful war-time career according to
news received in the Alumni Office a short
time ago.

He was a captain in the Resistance
movement in France during the war, and
at the close of the war was appointed to
a post with the ministry of National
Economy, Section on International Con-
ferences. After leaving Duke, he held a
post with the Health Department and
later with the Economic Section of the
League of Nations in Geneva. He was
married in 1928 to Marie Madeleine
Lebos from Brittany, France, and they
have four sons, aged from 16 to 7 and a
daughter 7 months old.

In 1939 he was mobilized as a lieu-
tenant in the French Army. After the
collapse of France in June, 1940, he
moved with his family to his farm in
Southwestern France in the Gironde, near
Bordeaux. He had a number of narrow
escapes from the German Gestapo, be-
cause of the propinquity of the French
Maquis, who had a secret post across
the road from his house. On one occa-
sion, when the Maquis had been shooting
at the Germans, the latter invaded near-
by houses for hostages. He saw them

coming and went upstairs for clothes to
take along, but the Germans searched the
lower floor of his house, found it empty
and went away without investigating fur-
ther. During this period and for the
rest of the war he served as a captain
in the Resistance movement.

Veillet-LaVallee's job at present is co-
ordination of preparatory work for
World Trade Conferences. He came to
this country this year as a member of the
French delegation to the special meeting
on urgent food problems, and attended
the meeting of the Economic and Social
Council of the United Nations in New
York just prior to his return to France.
He expects that his work will bring him
back to the United States before long
and he would like very much to visit
Duke on his next visit.

Dr. Spence Writes Book
Of Religious Pageants

Dr. H. E. Spence, professor of Biblical
literature and religious education, is the
author of a new book, "Holidays and
Holy Days: Plays, Pageants and Pro-
grams for Many Occasions," which has
just been published by the Piedmont
Press at Greensboro.

This new work reflects the author's
enthusiasm for the role of the dramatic
arts in the service of Christian education
and worship. The programs of worship
and the plays that constitute the heart
of it have been written by the author and
presented, not only in the Duke Univer-
sity Chapel and other churches, but also
under a variety of circumstances such as
prevail in representative church and
school communities.

The plays and pageants have captured
the spirit of Christmas in the England
of Cromwellian times, early New Eng-
land, and the Europe of the Middle Ages.
Part Two is inaugurated with a series of
worship programs embodying Medita-
tions by Dean F. S. Hickman, Bishop W.
W. Peele, Bishop Clare Purcell and Dean
Elbert Russell. Services appropriate to
such a variety of programs as those me-
morializing Father's Day and Patriotic
Occasions, as well as Good Friday and
Watch Night, are here included.

Dr. B. Harvie Branscomb, formerly
Dean of the Divinity School, reminds
the reader in his foreword, and Dr.
Spence demonstrates from his preface to
his last pages, how intimately the author
has been concerned with "recapturing the
arts for Christian service."

The book may be purchased from the
Piedmont Press, Greensboro, N. C, for
$2.00 per copy, postpaid.

Dr. R. P. Easier, '31, Edits
Lincoln Speeches, Writings

Professor Roy P. Basler, A.M. '30,
Ph.D. '31, at present a member of the
faculty at the University of Arkansas, is
the editor of Abraham Lincoln: His
Speeches and Writings, published by the
World Publishing Company and now-
being: widely read throughout the country.

A preface to the volume by Carl Sand-
burg contains some very complimentary
remarks about Duke University and es-
pecially about Dr. Jay B. Hubbell, Pro-
fessor of American Literature at Duke,
from whom Professor Basler derived his
first interest in the scholarly study of
Lincoln.

A previous volume by Professor Bas-
ler, The Lincoln Legend, was published
in 1935 by Houghton Mifflin Company,
and was based upon the author's doctoral
dissertation.

Intramural Department
Opens Varied Schedule

Under the direction of student manager
Harold "Lou" Bello, '44, returned vet-
eran, the intramural athletic department
at Duke University has once again re-
sumed its 'complete program, which was
much abbreviated during the war.

This year's program features compe-
tition between campus groups' in sixteen
sports : touch football, basketball, volley-
ball, soccer, Softball, golf, track, swim-
ming, cross country, . '.life saving, tennis,
handball, badminton, wrestling, boxing,
and horseshoes. ;no>liiil ■■■■'

At the conclusion of 'the year, the In-
tramural High Point Trophy will be
awarded to the participating group that
has amassed the highest total score in
all the activities during ' the:'school year.
These points are earned by awards made
to teams or players for their wins in the
various events. Points are awarded also
to groups for men that they have par-
ticipating in varsity sports. At the con-
clusion of the season, trophies will be
awarded in each sport, to the individual
or team winning the competition.

A new addition to the list of intra-
mural trophies is the William Senhauser
prize. This was established by Mrs. Ray-
mond in memory of her son, Bill Sen-
hauser, a member of the class of 1942,
who lost his life in the Pacific theater of
war. The award will be made to the
sophomore or junior in Trinity Colleg'e
or the College of Engineering who has
made the greatest contribution through

participation and leadership in intra-
mural sports.

Intramural athletics have already
started on the campus with the beginning
of the touch football league, and fall
competition in handball and tennis.
Thirty-five teams are active in the foot-
ball league, and tennis and handball
tournaments have a total of 600 men each
participating. It is estimated by Coach
K. C. "Jerry" Gerard, Director of Intra-
mural Athletics, that a total of more than
1500 men will take an active part in the
program during this school year.

The intramural program at the Uni-
versity is a portion of the over-all ath-
letic program in which approximately
ninety per cent of the undergraduate
student body participates.

Mrs. Reynolds Succumbs
After Prolonged Illness

Mrs. Kate Bitting Reynolds, wife of
W. N. Reynolds, '86, member of the Uni-
versity Board of Trustees, died at her
home at Tanglewood Farms, near Clem-
mons, on the night of September 23, 1946.
She had been ill for several years.

Funeral services were held at the First
Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem
on Seistember 25 with Dr. George Mauze,
pastor, officiating. Interment was in
Salem Cemetery.

Mrs. Reynolds .was born in Yadkin
County, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Bitting, but moved to Winston-
Salem when very young. She was mar-
ried to Mr. Reynolds, formerly president
of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
March 6, 1889.

Throughout her life, Mrs. Reynolds was
interested in community activities. She
was a leader in the group of women who
formed a circle to establish the old Twin
City Hospital. Several years ago she
made a gift of $250,000 for the erection
of the Sunday school building of the
First Presbyterian Church, of which she
was a member. As a tribute to his wife's
interest in hospital work, Mr. Reynolds
built and gave the Negroes of Winston-
Salem the Kate Bitting Reynolds Me-
morial Hospital, to be used exclusively
by them.

In an editorial memoriam to Mrs. Reyn-
olds, the Winston-Salem Sentinel wrote,
"Typifying in many ways the gracious
spirit of womanhood reminiscent of the
Old South, Mrs. Reynolds jaossessed
broad vision and deep human sympa-
thies. ... In the death of Mrs. Reyn-
olds the community and State have sus-
tained a heavy loss."

William Senhauser Prize
Offered for Intramurals

The William Senhauser award, the
latest addition to the list of intramural
athletic awards, will be made for the
first time at the conclusion of the current
season. Established by Mrs. M. E. Ray-
mond of Zanesville, Ohio, in memory of
her son, Bill, the award will be pre-
sented to the sophomore or junior of the
College of Engineering or Trinity Col-
lege who has made the most outstanding
contribution to intramural athletics dur-
ing the course of the year.

The presentation of the award, which
is $50 cash prize to the recipient, will be
under the direction of a committee to be
named by President Robert L. Flowers.

Senhauser,, a member of the class of
1942 at Duke, lost his life in the Pacific
theater of war while serving with the
Marine Air Corps. Joining the Navy
shortly after receiving his degree at Duke,
he went through training as a Naval pilot,
and was commissioned a second lieutenant
in the Marine Corps in May, 1943, at
Pensacola, Fla. Following subsequent
training at Chicago, 111., Senhauser went
to the South Pacific.

Remembering his Alma Mater, his
plane bore the head of a blue devil and
the name, "The Duke." While serving
with the Marines in the Pacific, Sen-
hauser met his death when the dive
bomber of which he was pilot crashed on
August 4, 1944.

As an undergraduate at Duke Univer-
sity, Senhauser was very active in all
phases of the school's intramural ath-
letic program. He was also a member
of the varsity squads in basketball, box-
ing, and soccer.

Letters

(Continued from Page 241)

For the Register, I am very thankful,
for I believe that you do a grand job in
getting it out and keeping men who are
far from Duke acquainted with the ac-
tivities going on on the campus. I ap-
preciate the magazine and read every
issue. I am particularly appreciative of
the covers that have all the Duke scenes.
I have saved them since I first received
the Register and have a fine album that
is a treat to my friends when I show them
the "place where I went to college."

Thank you again, Gentlemen, for your
fine association.

SEVENTY ALUMNI ATTEND
ENGINEERS' REUNION

Seventy alumni of the College of Engi-
neering descended upon the campus from
widely scattered parts of the country to
attend the annual reunion of the Engi-
neering Alumni Association on Satur-
day, October 5. Seventeen classes, rang-
ing from 1909 to the youngest class, that
of June 1946, were represented.

With President E. L. Jones, '12, of
Charlotte, N. O, presiding, the reunion
opened with a lively business meeting at
10:30 a.m. in Asbury Building. At this
meeting the "old grads" were brought up
to date on developments in the College
of Engineering as it emerges from the
war into a period of peacetime activity.
Dean W. H. Hall, '09, described the cur-
rent status and discussed plans for the
future. President Jones displayed blue-
prints and described progress on the con-
struction of the new $750,000 College of
Engineering building on the West Cam-
pus which his company — builders of the
atomic bomb plant at Oak Ridge, Tenn.
— is erecting. Russell Ransom, '31, de-
scribed his activities as agent for the
University in the procurement of surplus
war equipment for laboratory use.

Means of revitalizing the Engineering
Alumni Association — dormant throughout
the war — were discussed, and plans laid
to carry them out. The Association voted
to utilize the student-published DukEngi-
neer as a supplementary medium for
maintaining alumni contacts, and col-
lected donations totaling $100.50 to send
a copy of the next issue, bearing a full
report of the reunion, to every alumnus
in the College files.

Officers elected for the coming year
are: Edwin L. Jones, '12, of Charlotte,
N. C, president; Spencer McMaster, Jr.,
'43, of Winnsboro, S. O, vice-president ;
Russell Ranson, '31, of Charlotte, N. O,
secretary-treasurer.

Under the sponsorship of the class of
April '43, all of the alumni and their
guests were entertained at an open house
in the Forest Hills Club following the
Duke-Tennessee football game. The class
of April '43, in addition, enjoyed a class
reunion banquet at the Washington Duke
Hotel.

RECORD REGISTRATION

Fall registration figures released by
Dean W. H. Hall reveal a record enroll-
ment for the College of Engineering of
410 students at the second semester level
or higher. No accurate count of first-
semester freshman engineers is as yet
available, but conservative estimates of

more than 100 bring the estimated pres-
ent total enrollment of engineering stu-
dents to well over 500. Every facility of
the College is being taxed to the utmost
to accommodate as many as possible of
those clamoring for admission as students.
A study of the figures reveals that
69% of the students who have had at
least one previous semester of college
work are veterans, while 17% are mem-
bers of the NROTC unit. The senior
class totals 183, while 93 former students
are back to complete programs inter-
rupted by the war. Dean Hall also re-
vealed the fact that during the last sev-
eral terms of the Navy program, which
terminated in June, the College of Engi-
neering listed on its rolls as engineering
students more than 40% of the V-12
trainees at Duke University.

NEW FACULTY MEMBER

Mr. Donald Lee Spencer, formerly a
major in the Alaskan branch of the Air
Transport Command, has been added to
the staff of the Department of Mechani-
cal Engineering as an Instructor in Me-
chanical Engineering. A native of Iowa,
he was graduated from the University of
Iowa in 1942 with a degree of B.S.M.E.
He is a member of Tau Beta Pi and Pi
Tau Sigma. Mr. Spencer is married and
has two children.

WELDING ESSAY PRIZES

Lee M. Ragsdale of Knoxville, Tenn.,
and the DukEngineer were each the re-
cipient of a $150 second-place prize in
the latest annual A. F. Davis Under-
graduate Welding Contest. The prize-
winning article, written by Ragsdale, a
member of last June's graduating class
of the College of Engineering, and ap-
pearing in the May issue of the DukEn-
gineer, was entitled "Welded Homes for
Millions."

The Davis welding award is set up as a
continual program, two prizes of $200
each going to the author and to the stu-
dent publication carrying the first-place
prize winning article, and two awards of
$150 each going to the author and pub-
lication of the second-place prize win-
ning article. The purpose of this con-
tinent-wide annual contest is to encourage
interest in the use of welding as a con-
struction medium. The Ragsdale article
was described by the judges, who were
selected from the membership of the
American Welding Society, as "original
and thorough." The award will be made
at the annual dinner during the meeting
of the Societv in Atlantic City, Novem-
ber 21.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, October, 1946

PnjQon&ito Reap£4ted -H^te/i wan,

The Duke Hospital Training Course
for Hospital Administrators, which was
discontinued during the war, has been
resumed with six men now engaged in
the three-year training program, all of
them college graduates. Grayson Broth-
ers and Thomas P. Howerton, graduates
of Duke University; Sam 0. Gilmer, Fur-
man University; Preston Nisbett and
Minitree Pyne, University of North Caro-
lina; and Lewis Swenson, Hamlin Col-
lege, St. Paul, Minn., are at present en-
rolled in the program.

With the realization that hospital ad-
ministration is a highly specialized field,
requiring a variety of capabilities and
aptitudes and widely diversified back-
ground, the Training Course for Hos-
pital Administrators was set up at Duke
Hospital in 1930. It has undergone
slight changes between that time and the
present. The emphasis has continued on
the practical rather than the theoretical
aspects of hospital administration, al-
though the program has been altered
wherever deficiencies have become appar-
ent. It has been approved for veterans
on-the-job training.

Requirements for the program, which
is in the nature of a practical interne-
ship, are a college degree from an ac-
credited institution and a "B" or better
average. Other desirable prerequisites
are some background in sociology, eco-
nomics, statistics, public health and the
sciences; character, intelligence, and per-
sonality; sincerity, interest, and good
health.

Administrative trainees are selected by
a group of five men who make up the
administrative body of the hospital. This
group includes Harold C. Mickey, su-
perintendent; DeWitt Wright, assistant
superintendent in charge of purchasing
and maintenance; F. R. Porter, assistant
superintendent in charge of admitting
and business office; C. H. Cobb, business
manager for the medical private diag-
nostic clinic. Each prospective trainee
must receive the full approval of each
of the members of this committee after
a thorough examination. A veto on the
part of any member of the committee
will disqualify the applicant.

The training program began with a
total emphasis on the apprenticeship
principle. The trainee was a rotating
administrative assistant and as such was

trained and worked in each of the major
administrative departments of the hospi-
tal. When the trainee was considered
equipped to fill a position in a hospital
his training came to a conclusion. When
this proved unsatisfactory the program
was rounded out and set at about 30
months to three years. The completion
of requirements for the Master's degree
from Duke University in which the
trainee majored as an undergraduate was
made optional. A weekly seminar was
added where assigned problems include
nursing, dietetics, physical therapy, op-
erating room and central supply, record
library, board of trustees, public reac-
tions and pharmacy. Other topics cov-
ered in these weekly seminars include
x-ray, anesthesia, hospital and medical
legal procedures, brace and instrument
shop, public health administration, social
service, state survey of hospitals, com-
municable diseases, federal and state hos-
pitalization, insurance and compensation,
visits to other hospitals and problem
studies of similar hospitals.

Among the men who have completed
the program to date and who have become
affiliated with neighboring hospitals as
superintendents or administrative officers
are:

Clarence H. Cobb and DeWitt Wright,
are attached to the staff of the Duke Hos-
pital. Cobb is business manager of the
Medical Private Diagnostic Clinic, and
Wright is assistant superintendent of the
hospital in charge of purchasing and
maintenance.

R. Z. Thomas, present superintendent
of the Jackson Memorial Hospital, Mi-
ami, Fla., will assume new duties as ad-
ministrator of the Charlotte Memorial
Hospital, Charlotte, on November 1.
Wilson W. Lowrance has succeeded an-
other graduate of the program, John
Rankin, as superintendent of the Tourney
Hospital, Sumter, S. C. Rankin is now
the administrative head of the James
Walker Memorial Hospital, Wilmington.

Clyde Hardy, a 1941 graduate of the
course, is business manager of the Bow-
man Gray Private Diagnostic Clinic in
Winston-Salem; George Bokinsky, last
man to complete the course before it was
abandoned in 1942, is serving as the as-
sistant administrator of the University of
Virginia's hospital at Charlottesville, Va.

J. Richard Stull, former superintend-
ent of the Phoenixville Hospital, Phoenix-
ville, Pa., and Norfolk General Hospital,
Norfolk, Va., is working with the Cali-
fornia Hospital Care Commission.

A 1938 graduate of the course, James
M. Daniel, has served as administrative
head of the Rockingham Memorial Hos-
pital, Harrisonburg, Va., and is currently
the superintendent of the Columbia Hos-
pital, Columbia, S. C.

Robert H. King, is in closely allied
work with the Hospital Care Association
in Raleigh.

Willard P. Earngey, Jr., is superin-
tendent of the Norfolk General Hospital.
Prior to his assumption of this post he
was superintendent of the Cherokee Coun-
ty Hospital, Gaffney, S. C.

Both Horace E. Hamilton and Reed
T. Holmes are engaged in hospital man-
agement work in North Carolina. Ham-
ilton is superintendent of the Gastonia
City Hospital, Gastonia, and Holmes is
administrative head of the North Caro-
lina Baptist Hospital, Winston-Salem.

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, October, 1946

Qtue ^bealU cMit Victory Sbu&e
rlt Afcuuf -rllfte/i &anbf, BetlpG&ki

Duke's Blue Devil gridmen, showing
two wins and two losses for the season,
roll into New York City on October 26
seeking their biggest prize of this season
or any recent season — a victory over
Army.

And though the odds are piled sky
high against them, it's no secret that the
men of Wallace Wade are out to give
the high flying Cadets a closer ball game
than the one offered last season.

The Blue Devils have been, and still
are, a mystery team. They surprised
even themselves in losing a hard-fought
opener to N. C. State. They surprised
themselves a week later by playing a
brilliant game in holding Tennessee to a
one -touchdown victory. They finally
crashed the win column by turning back
Navy in Baltimore.

Though their record is scoffed at by
many football followers, the boys in
blue have no alibis for any of their set-
backs. They have faced stiff competition
all down the line. They were not ready
for some opponents ; they were more than
ready for others.

On September 28 in Raleigh, a capac-
ity crowd watched a fighting N. C. State
Wolfpack turn in a surprise 13-6 win
over Duke, and it became obvious that
Coach Wade had covered a lot of ground
when he had said the previous week that
the Blue Devils would face their tough-
est opening game in history. It was not
until 10 seconds before the final whistle
that the Wolfpack turned a 6-6 deadlock
into victory, but the winners had played
brilliantly all day. Their line had out-
charged a Duke line that had been having
trouble getting into condition. The Wolf-
pack bottled up Duke's vaunted running
attack and sent against the Devils two
fine passing, running, and kicking backs
in Howard Turner and Charlie Richkus.
But Richkus did the damage that day
against Duke.

The Blue Devils' lone score was made
by George Clark on a 7-yard dash around
left end. It was Clark who almost broke
away on the last play of the game as he
returned a State kickoff.

On the following Saturday, Coach
Wade and Coach Bob Neyland of Ten-
nessee renewed their rivalry in Duke
Stadium before a near sellout crowd of
42,000. The Duke eleven was vastly im-
proved over their previous week's show-

ing. They played a great game and lost
only because they were meeting what
Coach Eddie Cameron had called one of
the greatest teams he had ever seen play.

Duke struck first in the opening pe-
riod when tailback Buddy Luper passed
60 yards to flankback Howard Hartley
for the score. Bob Gantt converted, and
Duke led 7-0. But the Volunteers struck
back fast and furiously with a touch-
down pass from Walt Slater to Bill Hill-
man, and at half-time Duke enjoyed a
one point lead.

A Tennessee drive that opened the sec-
ond half resulted in a touchdown and
iced the game for the winners though
Duke threatened once again late in the
final quarter. The payoff score came on
another pass from the brilliant Slater to
end Bud Hubbell.

It was against the Navy Middies, a
team which Duke had not defeated since
1930, that the Blue Devils first came up
with a win before 41,000 in Baltimore.

As a team, the Blue Devils did not
play as well as they did against Tennes-
see, but several Blue Devil stars finally
came into their own, and it payed off
with a well-earned win. After three min-
utes of play, George Clark grabbed a
Navy punt on his own 45-yard line,
shook off several tacklers, and behind fine
blocking streaked 55 yards for a score.
Big Bob Gantt's kick was good, and Duke
led 7-0.

Fifty-five seconds later, the Navy was
back in the ball game, trailing 7-0. On
the second play following the kickoff, Bill
Hawkins dashed down the sidelines for
60 yards to the Duke 13. One play later,
Pistol Pete Williams had scored. But
it was the only time Navy scratched pay
dirt all day, thanks to many magnificent
stands by the Blue Devil forward wall.

Late in the quarter, Duke recovered a

Durham Alumni to Hold
Homecoming Open House

The Durham County alumni will
hold an open house at the City Armory
at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night, Novem-
ber 1, to open the activities of the
Homecoming weekend. Football pic-
tures will be shown. All out-of-town
alumni who are in the city that eve-
ning are invited to attend. .&

fumble deep in Middie territory, and on
the second play of the second period, Leo
Long leaped over the Navy line to score.
Gantt's kick gave Duke a 14-6 lead.

In the second half, it was Long, Long,
Long — through the middle of the Navy
line, and the Duke fullback, playing his
finest game, again scored. Gantt's third
extra point concluded the day's scoring,
and the Blue Devils had snapped the
Navy jinx, 21-6.

On November 2, Duke and Georgia
Tech will clash in the Duke Stadium to
highlight the 1946 Homecoming. The
game is a near sellout, and should be
typical of all Duke-Georgia Tech foot-
ball games. The Ramblin' Wreck has
been ramblin' this year, and on the basis
of scores against mutual opponents, the
teams are well enough matched to give
Duke alumni the best homecoming game
in several years.

The Blue Devil junior varsity holds
one victory and one defeat in its two
games played. The season opened with
a 19-0 setback by High Point College in
a game in which the jayvees made a
creditable defensive showing but lacked
a strong offense since they had spent
most of their practice time in defensive
scrimmages against the varsity.

The second game was played against
the Navy "B" team at Annapolis, and the
Duke B's came through with a 19-6 tri-
umph as George Skipworth turned in an
amazing passing performance that swept
the Middies off their feet.

The cross country runners met defeat
in their season opener when they lost to
Army's distance men at West Point.
Some consolation, however, came in \the
showing of Duke's star, Jim Davis. Da^is
placed second in the meet and finished
only twenty seconds behind the victorious
Cadet runner.

November 2, 1946

In case it would be of any interest to know of the whereabouts
of this former Dukester, I am living in Poeatello, Idaho, where my
husband is a student at the University of Idaho, Southern Branch.
We were married in June of this year and have been in Idaho since
August after a very interesting trip through Yellowstone and several
other national parks. Compared to the rest of the West, Idaho is
quite nice; but to a former North Carolinian, it is rather bleak and
very cold. And Duke — deraulduk — now has a halo of immense pro-
portions in my mind. I really miss that beautiful campus, which is
even more lovely by any and every comparison, and those friendly
"Hey"s" and "Hi's," and those good old dollar bills which never
jingled like these loud Western silver dollars. But then who could
be exposed to North Carolina and Duke and find any other place
quite so perfect?

Okinawa Shima
September 23, 1946

I'm sorry for not having contacted you sooner, but I have been
permanently settled here on Okinawa only a short time, and it wasn't
convenient for me to write until now. Right now I'm a weather
observer in the 20th Weather Squadron of the Army Air Forces
Weather Service and work in a weather station on the flight-line of
the Naha airstrip. I graduated from Duke in 1945, and never wished
I was back there as much as I do now. I guess that many of the
men who were classmates of mine back in my freshman and sopho-
more years, and who left school to enter the Service, are now back
at Duke to resume their education. I hope to be able to visit Duke
and see some of my old classmates sometime next fall. At the same
time I'll be able to visit my sister who will probably be in her fresh-
man year over on the East Campus.

I've flown over the entire width of the Pacific Ocean between
San Francisco and Tokyo, and also over Japan and the East China
Sea, but nothing I've seen over here can match the Duke Chapel.
I'd trade the whole of Okinawa, with Japan thrown in, just for one
look at it. I'm hoping that I can find a fellow Duke alumnus here
on the "Rock" so that we can shoot the breeze about old times at
Duke. Before signing off I'd like to express the sentiment that I
hope the Blue Devils whip Army and Carolina to a froth this fall.
I'll be cheering them on from this side of the world.

atto-mec&mUKf,

In spite of inclement weather, the 1946 Homecoming
was one of the most enthusiastic occasions of its kind to
be held in the history of the institution. It has come and
gone, and if the attendance and friendly feeling that per-
meated the campus on November 2 are any barometer, the
Homecoming occasion this year was a decided success.

It was the first time in a number of years that many of
the alumni who are recently out of uniform have had an
opportunity to visit the campus. It was most gratifying
to hear the exclamations of pleasure and surprise as alum-
ni greeted each other and visited about the campus
viewing the many changes and the decorations erected by
the students on both campuses. The faculty, administra-
tion, and students, as well as local alumni committees, had
a special part in the activities of the day. We feel sure
that after an experience such as Homecoming the alumni
will be looking forward to other occasions which will give
them an opportunity to visit the campus.

Due to the shortage of vehicles and supplies, it was not
feasible to hold the parade. In order that they might
have a part in the Homecoming celebration, however, the
Chamber of Commerce sponsored a window decoration
contest among the merchants. The Durham County
Alumni Association made its contribution by holding an
open house for the returning alumni Friday night, No-
vember 1. These features added much to the occasion.

As one alumnus said before leaving the campus, "I
only wish that every day was Homecoming and I could
have the opportunity to attend each one. I don't know
when I have had such a good time."

Duke University Day will be observed by local alumni
associations again this year on Wednesday, December 11.

For local reasons many of the alumni groups will hold
their meetings in observance of the occasion on other
days. But whatever date is selected the purpose will be
the same — a fitting observance of the signing by the late
James B. Duke on December 11, 1924, of the Indenture
of Trust making possible the Duke University of today.

The theme for the meetings this year will be "Duke
University in the Post-war Period." The idea will be to
consider, along with the achievements of the past, the
prospects for future development. It is sincerely hoped
that the alumni will consider the vital and important part
they will have in all future development of. the Univer-
sity. The series of meetings being held by the alumni
groups and the organization of additional associations
can be of inestimable value to the institution. It is most

encouraging that so many of the organized associations
are holding meetings this year and that a number of new
groups are being started.

It is well for the officers of the local associations and
alumni in general to pause in the busy rush of everyday
life and consider what has been accomplished by the
University and to manifest a pardonable pride in what
has been done. Alumni, however, should not stop with
what has been done, but should decide now to have a defi-
nite part in the future of the institution and to do every-
thing possible to help it maintain its place in the edu-
cational field. Duke University needs the help of every
alumnus. All colleges, schools, and departments of the
University should attract the interest and cooperation
of the alumni. There are many things that could and
should be done by the former students of the institution,
and this is an excellent time to call attention to them.

IZMe^l

The Alumni and Alumnae Councils held their meetings
on Saturday, November 9, at which time new officers were
elected for the coming year. The Councils have done
outstanding work during the past twelve months under
the leadership of W. B. Kiker, chairman of the Alumni
Council, and Mrs. Eslelle Warliek Hillman, chairman of
the Alumnae Council. We are looking forward to another
period of development and expansion in the coming
months under the capable direction of the new chairman
of the Alumni Council, William M. Werber, and the
chairman of the Alumnae Council, Mrs. Alma Wyche
Underwood.

At the point of becoming monotonous, may we remind
the alumni once more that by the time this publication
reaches you, the month of November, which has been
designated as "Alumni Month," will be drawing to a
close. We hope that every alumnus who has not done so
will make a special effort to associate himself more closely
with the University and his fellow alumni before Novem-
ber 30. Of course, every month should be alumni month,
but it is hoped that November will be a red letter month
for alumni everywhere.

The Alumnae Council, at its meeting on November 9,
decided not to hold the Alumnae Weekend in the spring
of 1947, but to begin now to make plans so that the Week-
end can be held in the spring of 1948. Committees were
appointed, and they are already busy making the nec-
essary arrangements. This occasion has been one of the
outstanding features of the alumnae calendar, and we are
sure the alumnae are looking forward to the time when it
can be resumed on an expanded basis.

Alumni from Classes of '92 Through '46 Return to Campus —
Durham Alumni Hold Open House — Sir Norman Birkett
Addresses Law School Reunion — Barbecue Luncheon — Foot-
ball Greats Return — Town and Campus Decorations — Some
Alumni Cross Continent — Homecoming Game Sponsors.

With 765 alumni and visitors regis-
tered, the annual Homecoming week-
end, November 2-3, turned out to be the
largest celebration of its type in the his-
tory of the University, as alumni from
throughout the nation returned to the
campus for the first completely peace-
time Homecoming since the beginning of
the war.

Leaden skies and intermittent rain
failed to dampen the spirits of old
grads, ranging from the class of '92 to
the veterans of the most recent classes
who are continuing their war-interrupted
educations. The class of 1943 registered
the greatest number, fifty-five members
of that class stopping by the registration
desks set up by the Alumni Office in
the West Campus Union. Other heavy
registrations were all from recent classes,
the class of 1941 coming second with
fifty -two visitors, closely followed in
number of registered alumni by the class
of 1942 with forty-eight and the class
of 1944 with forty-four. Between the
classes of 1892 and 1919 there were
ninety-four returning alumni who regis-
tered. The classes from 1920 through
1939 brought 354 alumni back for the
festivities, while the last seven graduat-
ing classes, 1940 through 1946, registered
a total of 305 alumni. In addition to the
alumni who registered for the week-end,
twelve visitors were also included on the
books of the Alumni Office.

Highlighting the activities of the week-
end was the Duke-Georgia Tech football
game, with the invading Yellow Jackets
marring the celebration with a 14-0 win
over the Blue Devils, but other activities
kept the throngs of visitors moving from
one informal reunion group to another
throughout the week-end.

For those who arrived in Durham
early, the Durham Duke Alumni Associa-
tion sponsored an open house in the City
Armory on Friday night, November 1.
An estimated thousand people, including
alumni, guests, and townspeople, were

in attendance at the open house, which
featured the showing of motion picture
films of the Duke-Army game played in
the Polo Grounds in New York City the
week before.

Saturday morning activities began with
registration of returning alumni on the
second floor of the West Campus Union,
the registration desks having been moved
upstairs for the first time this year to
alleviate to some extent the overcrowded
conditions in the Union lobby. Members
of the faculty, administration, and local
alumni association were on hand to serve
as a welcoming committee for the visit-
ing alumni. During the morning there
were the annual committee meetings, in-
formal get-togethers and reunions of old
friends and classmates.

Sir Norman Birkett, dean of British
jurists and alternate on the British dele-
gation at the Nuremburg trials, spoke be-
fore a Homecoming gathering of alumni
and students at the School of Law on
Saturday morning, shortly before the an-
nual barbecue luncheon. "I like to think
that we of the British Commonwealth of
Nations and you of the United States are,
at least so far as our legal tradition is
concerned, members of one great com-
munity," Sir Norman said. He touched
briefly upon our great common inheri-
tance of government, laws, literature, and
culture, and urged that all lawyers should
not limit themselves exclusively to the
law itself, but should expand their men-
tal horizons into the culture of their
civilization itself. Sir Norman was the
guest of the Duke Law School faculty and
bar association, and he was introduced
by Willis Smith, Jr., '42, president of the
Duke Bar Association. Accompanying
Sir Norman was Willis Smith, '10,
former president of the American Bar
Association and chairman of the Univer-
sity Board of Trustees.

Alumni took time during the course of
the morning to tour the campus and see
the lavish Homecoming displays erected

by students in each house. Winner in
the decoration contest among the fra-
ternities was Sigma Chi, which took the
first place trophy with an animated Blue
Devil, harassing the Georgia Tech Yel-
low Jacket, along with other decorations
including a well-kept cemetery before the
house entrance where Tech gridders were
interred. House O won the freshman
house competition and movie passes to
Quadrangle Pictures for all residents of
the house with its wreck of the "Ramblin'
Wreck." Alspaugh House took the first
place trophy among coed decorations
with its two-ring circus, featuring Yel-
low Jackets in a cage performing for an
oversize Blue Devil.

To replace the annual parade, omitted
again this year because of the shortage of
materials and vehicles, the Durham Cham-
ber of Commerce sponsored a window
decoration contest among downtown
stores and merchants as a part of the
Homecoming festivities. First-place win-
ners in their respective divisions in
town included B. C. Woodall with its
caricature of Lena the Hyena as a Duke
rooter, Miller-Bishop featuring a Blue
Devil barbecuing a Yellow Jacket, Belk
Leggett Co. with a gridiron scene of
disaster for the invaders, and Home
Building and Loan showing a toy train
wrecked by a Blue Devil.

At noon, alumni and visitors were
treated to the annual barbecue luncheon,
held in the indoor stadium because of the
inclement weather. There gathered
alumni from seventeen various states to
greet each other at their alma mater.
Oldest registered alumni present were A.
W. Plyler of Greensboro and M. T.
Plyler of Durham, football stars of the
class of '92. W. M. Upchurch, Jr., '31,
former director of the University Ap-
pointments Office, journeyed all the way
from San Francisco to be on hand for
the week-end, the greatest distance trav-
eled by any one alumnus. Other long
distance visitors were Ernest Lynch, '34,
who traveled from Portland, Maine,
and Lome S. McDonald, '44, from Bir-
mingham, Mich. One of the University's
most famous war heroes, Clay Connor,

Continuing- with the fall series of local
alumni association meetings, groups in
North Carolina and other states are hold-
ing gatherings during this month and
planning meetings for next month which
promise to make this season one of the
most active in alumni work since before
the start of the war.

Many of the fall meetings have already
been held, and several of the local or-
ganizations have announced the election
of new officers for the coming year.
Other groups are planning to meet in
the near future for an evening of busi-
ness and discussion.

Listed below are those groups which
have already held their annual meetings,
or which have definitely scheduled meet-
ings during the latter part of November
and early December:

Baltimore

Under the guidance of William Som-
merville, '38, and Clayton Carter, '39, a
new Duke alumni association chapter was
organized in Baltimore, Md., on Septem-
ber 23. Thirty-three charter members at-
tended the initial meeting at which the
association constitution was proposed
and adopted, and preliminary plans were
made for the furtherance of Duke
University interests in the state of
Maryland.

J. Warren Burgess, '12, was ekcted
first president of the new organization at
the meeting. Other officers elected to head

the group were Bill Sommerville as vice-
president; Mrs. Dorothy Noble Mangels,
'45, corresponding secretary ; Rev. A.
Gordon Fischer, '39, recording secretary;
and Mrs. Ruth Davis Wyman, '35, treas-
urer.

The first undertaking of the Baltimore
organization was the open house held
at the Hotel Stafford following the Duke-
Navy football game on October 12. The
large number of alumni and students who
attended, an estimated three hundred per-
sons, testified to its success.

Oak Ridge

Hall Smith, Jr., '26, was elected presi-
dent of the Oak Ridg-e, Tenn., Duke
Alumni Association at a meeting held
October 22 at the home of K. Z. Morgan,
Ph.D. '34, and Mrs. Morgan.

Other officers elected at this meeting in-
cluded Marvin Mann, '32, vice-president;
Joe Preslar, '44, re-elected secretary-
treasurer; and J. C. Trexler, '32, and
Mrs. Marion Moore Morock, '37, members
of the executive committee.

The meeting was in the form of a buffet
dinner with Dr. and Mrs. Morgan as
hosts to the twenty-four members and
guests of the association present.

At the conclusion of the dinner, pic-
tures were taken of the group, and talks
were given by Dr. Morgan and L. W.
Nordheim. The evening's activities were
closed with the business session at which

time the officers were elected for the com-
ing year.

New Yoke City

The Duke Alumni Association of New
York City welcomed alumni, students,
and visitors to New York for the Duke-
Army football game on Saturday, Oc-
tober 26, with a post-game open house
in the Gold Room of the Ambassador
Hotel.

An estimated one thousand visitors at-
tended the open house, which has become
an annual affair during the continuance
of the Duke-Army football series. The
party started shortly after the close of
the game, and continued until early
evening, with alumni and students gather-
ing in small groups and larger crowds
for one of the largest post-war Duke re-
unions yet held. The overflow crowd
filled the lobby as old friends and class-
mates renewed acquaintances, many for
the first time since the war had begun.

As in years past, the open house had
all the color and gaiety of an off-cam-
pus reunion similar to a campus Home-
coming.

Dr. Calvin B. Hoover, dean of the Church, Raleigh, for two years. He has director of youth work for the Durham

Graduate School of Arts and Sciences,
recently attended the three-day annual
conference of the Association of Ameri-
can Universities held at Princeton Uni-
versity. The representatives of the thirty-
four member institutions gathered to dis-
cuss the improvement of the quality of
graduate work, offered and completed in
graduate schools and the approval of
undergraduate schools which seek to have
their credits approved by the association.

Dr. James J. O'Leary. associate pro-
fessor of economics, is serving as director
of research for the Committee on Public
Debt Policy, an organization i ngnged in
studying the best manner of managing
the national debt in the public interest.
Professor Benjamin U. Ratchford is also
a member of the organization.

At present Dr. O'Leary is engaged in
directing research and writing a report
on the interest rate policy.

Capt. Alexander M. Kowalzyk. Jr.,
USX. commanding officer of the Naval
ROTC unit at Duke, recently was
awarded the Legion of Merit in a cere-
mony at the Naval Armory in Chapel
Hill. The award was presented in recog-
nition of his services as an escort com-
mander engaged in anti-submarine war-
fare and convoy dntj in the Atlantic

Oh the £ife <4 2>*. W. P. Qew

(The following is the text of an address
delivered by Dr. W. T. Laprade, pro-
fessor of history, before the Historical
Society of the North Carolina Confer-
ence of the Methodist church at its
annual meeting- in Henderson on Novem-
ber 7, 1946.)"

Time has not yet afforded the perspective
to enable us to appraise critically the con-
tribution of William Preston Few to the
educational life of his day. Manifestly,
whatever contribution he made is largely
to be seen in the share he had in bringing
Duke University to its present stage. He
would have been the first to deny that, even
when he was the institution's responsible
leader, its expansion and growth were en-
tirely his handiwork. He had an unusual
sense of history and a keen and oft-repeated
appreciation of the fact that a well-estab-
lished institution does more to give perma-
nence and significance to the careers of in-
dividuals associated with it than even the
most influential of these individuals con-
tributes to the shaping of the institution.
Nevertheless, for good or ill, it was his for-
tune to be charged with leadership at a
time when important decisions concerning
Duke University had to be made. Accord-
ingly, he will always be a unique figure in
its history. It is appropriate, therefore,
that we spend a little time today recalling
his career and noting some of the high
lights of his achievement.

Born at Greenville, South Carolina, in
Christmas week, 1867, less than three years
after Lee's surrender, his life-span — more
than the allotted three score and ten years
— saw the nadir of his section in resources
and influence and its rise from ruins, al-
most like a Phoenix, to resume its proper
place in the life of the nation. He attended
Wofford College for his undergraduate edu-
cation and there felt the dynamic influence
of Dr. James Henry Carlisle, the President
who dominated that institution in those
years. He went for graduate study to Har-
vard in the heyday of its faculty in Eng-
lish and philology, which then included
scholars who have since become legendary
figures in the lore of their subjects. He
came to Trinity College in 1896 as a supply
for a professor of English who was absent
on leave that year and remained with the
institution from then until the end of his
life. Preceding him by two years- at Trinity
was another striking personality from Wof-
ford, who had also felt the influence of Dr.
Carlisle. Without President John C. Kilgo's
work as a foundation, Dr. Few would not
have been able to leave the impressive
educational structure that emerged during
his administration.

After serving as a member of the faculty
for six years, Dr. Few became the first
dean that Trinity College ever had and in
that capacity was intimately associated with
the President in the internal administration
of the institution. The impression that Dr.
Few made on President Kilgo as a colleague
and as an administrative lieutenant is evi-
dent from the fact that, when he was elect-
ed bishop in 1910, he nominated Dr. Few to
succeed as president of the College. The
retiring President 's words when formally
installing his successor indicate his esti-
mate of the new President and also some-
thing, perhaps, of his own conception of the
office, a conception which fortunately Presi-
dent Few did not wholly share. ' ' You are
no stranger to this College, ' ' said Bishop
Kilgo, "and it is no stranger to you. The
fourteen years of wise, devoted, and effi-
cient service you have given here have
afforded you ample opportunity to learn
the spirit and aims of Trinity College, and
fairness requires me to say that your labors
have been one of the leading factors in its
remarkable progress. ... I heartily con-
gratulate you upon coming into possession
of such a large organ through which to ex-
press your thought and faith, and such a
great agency through which to serve your
day and generation. ' '

In some degree Bishop Kilgo doubtless
still thought, that November morning in
1910, in terms of the type of small de-
nominational college familiar in the United
States in the nineteenth century. He knew,
to be sure, that in its two generations of
existence Trinity College had already
touched many men. He called especially
to mind the "Trinity family" and "its
sacred roll of noble sons who did grandly
their work and died, ' ' but made haste to
remark, "her highest hopes and proudest
days are not in the cemetery. Her sons in
every honorable walk of life, laboring as
they are in all quarters of the globe, by
their fidelity to duty, allegiance to truth,
and loj'alty to all that is high, are adding
new splendor to the name of Alma Mater.
They love their college because they be-
lieve in it. ' ' He called to mind ' ' generous
benefactors'' and observed, "All the ma-
terial resources here are the translations of
faiths and loves and hopes." But he sug-
gested also that the new President would
' ' find inspiration in the labors of the other
generations of men who have wrought here
and whose spirits seem to breathe in the
life of the college. ' '

The retiring President could easily have
named the men he had in mind in this
last statement. Among them was his own
immediate predecessor, John Franklin
Crowe!!, to whom more than once he had

paid generous tribute for the quality and
significance of the work done in renewing
the life of the College, in recruiting its
faculty, and in moving it to Durham. He
could not help having in mind Braxton
Craven, without whose devoted life there
would have been no college to move. There
were men still alive, some of them present
in the Craven Memorial Hall on that occa-
sion, who gladly testified to the profound
impact on their lives of that great teacher.
Certainly Bishop Kilgo did not forget Mr.
Washington Duke and his two sons, or
Messrs. Alspaugh, Gray, and Carr. Never-
theless, his roll call, if he had mentioned
the names of the "other generations of
men," would not have been a long one.
For these and other reasons, it is doubtful
that he quite foresaw that he was induct-
ing his successor into a type of academic
office a little different from that which he
had himself held. The work of President
Few was to be on a different plane.

But not much of the future was fore-
seen by any one present in the hall that
morning. It was the first formal occasion
on which I had ever marched in procession
with the Trinity faculty. I had taught a
year under President Kilgo, but had been
excused from attending commencement in
the previous June in order to go abroad.
It was thus to be my fortune to serve
under President Few throughout his ad-
ministration and to witness the amazing
growth of the institution under his leader-
ship. Even by November, 1910, however,
Trinity College was already an organic in-
stitution with a character peculiar to itself,
something more than the lengthened shad-
ows of a few devoted men. The extensive
participation in the inauguration of Presi-
dent Few by distinguished educators from
various parts of the country — Presidents
Lowell of Harvard, Judson of Chicago,
Craighead of Tulane; Deans Jones of
Yale, West of Princeton, Downey of Minne-
sota, and others — implied a recognition that
the College, though still small, had come
of age. The thought of the day was that
it should remain small and devote itself to
the achievement of quality. The final para-
graph in the inaugural address of the new
President, which impressed favorably the
audience that heard it, indicates as we re-
peat it now how little qualified a man is to
foresee his own destiny :

We here have no ambition to be miscalled
a university ; we are not even concerned
that this shall be a " big ' ' college ; but we
are immenselj' concerned that it shall be a
shining place where high-minded youth may
catch aspirations to true character and
genuine excellence, and whence into this
vast experiment in democratic government
that is being tried out on the American con-
tinent, there shall go a long succession of
men who have been trained to think straight
and to think through to right conclusions,
and who have been made strong by the
power to know the truth and the will to
live it.

The administrations of Craven and

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, November, 1946

Crowell and Kilgo had been times of striv-
ing against formidable obstacles, even at
times of fighting against odds. Had they
not done well their tasks and won the sub-
stance of the things for which they fought,
there would have been no opportunity for
Dr. Tew. They had labored, and he in-
herited the fruit thereof when he entered
into their labors. But the institution they
had done so much to build needed in 1910
the services of a man of the type of Dr.
Few if it was to project itself into the
larger field for which opportunity was soon
to open. It mattered little that he did not
foresee what the future held in store. The
social institutions that have best fulfilled
their functions and that have taken deepest
root in the esteem of those they served have
usually emerged in the course of day by
day experience with the tasks at hand. The
successful builders have been those with
courage to try, with discrimination to avoid
the repetition of mistakes, and with wisdom
to persist in that which worked. These
qualities, President Few on the whole
exemplified.

A building program was in progress when
he took office. The West Duke Building
on the East Campus, the oldest building the
institution now uses for academic purposes,
had just been completed. Some of the
exercises attending the inauguration were
held in its rooms. The other three build-
ings in this group were erected in the next
several years: Aycock Hall was completed
in 1911, the East Duke Building the follow-
ing year, and Jarvis Hall the year there-
after. In 1914 Epworth Hall, abandoned
the previous year, was renovated to accom-
modate the students then coming in increas-
ing numbers.

A campaign to increase the endowment
was launched at the outset of President
Few 's administration. For some years the
Messrs. B. N. and J. B. Duke had been
contributing annual sums to support the
Law School, established in 1904, and addi-
tions to the staff made in 1909. They now
contributed a large part of the more than
a million dollars that were raised in this
campaign, which ended in 1913. A notable
aspect of this campaign was a gift of
$150,000 from the General Education
Board, concrete evidence that the College
had won recognition outside its section and
had achieved a measure of success in its
work. Alumni and other friends had also
contributed more extensively than ever be-
fore.

From the beginning of his administration,
President Few appreciated the fact that one
of the best ways to insure the continued
growth and usefulness of the College would
be to organize its alumni and to enlist their
interest in its progress and welfare. This
work had been begun in the administration
of President Kilgo under the direction of
Professor Robert L. Flowers, Dr. Few's
successor as President of the University.
There had, of course, for a number of years,
been a General Alumni Association, which,
since the administration of President Cro-

well, had participated in the election of
trustees. But there had been no periodical
to serve as a medium of communication and
no effort to compile a list of members. The
Alumni Register, began to appear in 1915,
and from then till now has served as the
organ of a rapidly growing family. The
first number of its second volume was a
directory of the alumni as far as informa-
tion could then be gathered. In the spring
of 1920 an alumnus was engaged to devote
his entire time to the service and organi-
zation of graduates and former students.
Thus another step was made in the efforts
of the institution to mobolize its clientele
for the service of its time.

Before the first number of the Alumni
Begister appeared, the war began in
Europe. When, in the spring of 1917, the
United States became an active participant
in the war, both students and younger mem-
bers of the faculty rapidly departed for
camps to train as officers in the Army.
The progress of higher education on the
campus had for the time to be subordinated
to the national cause. In the summer of
1918 selected members of the faculty and
students went to Plattsburg to prepare to
make the College a center of military train-
ing. The Student's Army Training Corps
was established at Trinity, as at most col-
leges, in the fall of 1918, and students
were marched to class in the uniform of the
Army until after the close of hostilities.
This interruption of normal collegiate life
made more apparent certain educational
needs of which the responsible officers of
the College had never been wholly unaware.

One of these needs President Few had
mentioned in liis inaugural address : ' ' Trin-
ity College," he said, "will always throw
itself unreservedly into the doing of the
supreme duty of the hour. A while ago
it was at any cost to break the shackles
of politics and traditionalism. Today it is
to put within reach of every child the op-
portunities of the elementary school, the
grammer school, and the high school. ' '
Braxton Craven, we remember, felt some-
thing of the same need and tried the experi-
ment of administering the institution as
Normal College before offering it for affili-
ation with the North Carolina Conference of
the Methodist Church. President Kilgo,
several years before the end of his ad-
ministration (1907), had brought to the
College as its first Professor of the History
and Science of Education Eugene C.
Brooks, an alumnus educated in the admin-
istration of President Crowell and a suc-
cessful administrator of local public schools.
Men trained under Professor Brooks still
afford educational leadership in the state.

Before the end of the war Professor
Brooks was appointed State Superintendent
of Public Instruction. At the war's end
the need was clear not only for additional
teachers in the schools but also for the
better training of those already in service.
Accordingly, in the summer of 1919, the
College conducted experimentally its first
summer session, thus beginning in a small

way a service to secondary education that
was to grow until, before Dr. Few's death,
it had touched teachers in schools in most
of the states of the union. The Indenture
founding Duke University contains a stip-
ulation that it shall train teachers as well
as members of other professions.

In one of his earlier contributions to the
endowment of the College Mr. Washington
Duke stipulated as a condition that it
should accept as students women on the
same terms as men. Though he withdrew
this stipulation later, leaving the institu-
tion free to use its discretion, there was
little probability that it would withdraw
from the obligation, once having accepted
it. President Kilgo, in his annual reports,
repeatedly reminded the Board of Trustees
that it had not made adequate provisions
for fulfilling in this respect the obligation
it had assumed. President Few repeated
this admonition in his second annual re-
port. In June, 1914, the organized alumnae
announced their intention of raising $25,000
if the Board would add enough to erect
the needed building, but, as we know, the
war intervened. When the young men
went to war, a dormitory was left avail-
able to increase substantially the number
of women students. When the men began
to return in 1919, it was soon clear that
immediate action was necessary if the Col-
lege was to go forward with the work thus
begun.

The death of Mr. James H. Southgate,
long President of the Board of Trustees
and a distinguished citizen of Durham, sug-
gested a way out of the dilemma. Many of
his friends were interested in providing a
memorial to him. Mr. B. N. Duke offered
to contribute $100,000 if other friends
would contribute a like amount for the
purpose. A successful campaign was con-
ducted in the latter days of March, 1920,
before the disillusionment and the depres-
sion following the war had stayed the
hands of liberal givers. The James H.
Southgate Memorial Building was erected
in the summer of 1921 and occupied for the
first time in the autumn of that year. The
presence of women students in considerable
numbers made it necessary to engage a dean
of women ; the foundation was thus laid for
the coordinate college provided for in Mr.
Duke 's Indenture founding the University.

The increasing influx of students after
the war and the general rise in prices called
for further addition to the endowment if
the College was to maintain its standards.
Mr. J. B. Duke, by a contribution of
$1,025,000 in the fall of 1922, gave sub-
stantial evidence of his interest in an in-
stitution, which his father and elder brother
had previously done somewhat more to sup-
port. Twenty-five thousand dollars of this
contribution went to complete the sum
needed for building a gymnasium as a me-
morial to the alumni who fell in the war;
the million was for endowment.

Even before this contribution, the growth
of the College in the first decade of the
administration of President Few had been

remarkable. The endowment when he took
office was somewhat less than $450,000 ; in
June, 1920, the report of the Treasurer
showed that it amounted to more than
$1,650,000. A better index to the work
done: the expenditure for salaries in 1920-
21 was approximately $120,000 as compared
with $45,000 in the year 1909-10. In 1909-
10, the last year of the administration of
President Kilgo, there had been 320 stu-
dents, including those in the Law School,
with forty-three officers and members of
the faculty to serve them. In the year
ending in 1921 there were 660 students,
not including 262 in the Summer Session,
with a staff of eighty-six officers and
teachers.

The older among you may remember the
effort made by Dr. Few in the early months
of 1923 to enlist the cooperation of the
State to found a medical school to be oper-
ated jointly by the University of North
Carolina and Trinity College. The offer
was to provide half of a foundation of eight
million dollars. For reasons it would not
be appropriate to canvass now the project
failed of adoption. The announcement of
the Duke Endowment less than two years
later made a recurrence to the proposal
unlikely.

This foundation, set up by Mr. J. B.
Duke in an Indenture dated December 11,
1924, and supplemented by provisions in his
will after his untimely death the next year,
paralleled in a considerable degree the ven-
ture of Johns Hopkins in a previous gener-
ation. Both men provided for a univer-
sity and a hospital to be connected there-
with as a teaching institution for the train-
ing of physicians. Mr. Duke provided also
for specific assistance to community hospi-
tals in North and South Carolina and for
other benefactions. But we are concerned
here only with his provision for the found-
ing of a university. He did not leave his
trustees quite as free in this phase of his
foundation as did Mr. Hopkins. Not only
did he make certain admirable suggestions
to guide them in founding the university,
he stipulated further that, should the Trus-
tees of Trinity College agree, the new uni-
versity should be built upon that historic
foundation, using its trustees and staff and
incorporating the College as the under-
graduate department of the University. The
proposal was soon accepted by the Trustees
of Trinity College, and President Few
found himself faced with the formidable
task of taking the lead in founding the new
institution without sacrificing the values
and achievements of the old.

He was keenly aware of the difficulties
involved in this complex undertaking. Per-
haps he foresaw more difficulties than actu-
ally arose, though it is equally as probable
that his careful circumspection contributed
to avoid troubles that otherwise might have
arisen. The work of the new University
naturally involved the selection of new men
who would be vested with great responsi-
bilities and who might very well fail to
appreciate that they were joining a ven-

ture which already had roots deep in the
past. These lieutenants had, in turn, to
recruit staff-members, who in some cases
were attracted to their appointments in con-
siderable measure because there seemed to
be a chance to embark upon a new venture
affording an opportunity for enhanced per-
sonal achievement. In a few years the mem-
bers of the staff of the new University
greatly outnumbered those of that of the
old College. Though it was not done with-
out considerable taking of thought on the
part of President Few and his associates,
ultimately in a surprising degree a sense
of institutional continuity was preserved.

One means of attaining this end was the
successful celebration of the centennial
anniversary of the origins of the College,
which was the last considerable enterprise
that President Few helped to organize to
promote the work of the University. Con-
siderable as was the sum added to its re-
sources that year, and much as it was
needed, perhaps a greater gain was the
progress in making the majority of mem-
bers of the staff more familiar than they
had previously been with things achieved
before they came upon the scene. Not only
was there much recounting of history, the
very coming forward of alumni and friends
to offer substantial support was inescapable
evidence of work previously done.

President Few sought to make succeeding
generations of students and teachers aware
of the men who had had a part in earlier
phases of the tasks of building the insti-
tution by persuading the Trustees to affix
the names of the more prominent of these
to various edifices on the campus. Thus
those who reside in the dormitories or fre-
quent other halls and classrooms will ever
be reminded of York, Craven, Crowell, Kil-
go, and, in the newest dormitory quadrangle,
of Few himself. They will discover also
the names of Alspaugh, Gray, Carr, South-
gate, Brown, Bassett, Pegram, and the Giles
sisters. In this way, those who come to the
campus in whatever capacity and are curi-
ous about its lore will have names to guide
them in inquiries that will lead directly to
past generations of creditable achievement.

More important, perhaps, President Few
tried wherever possible to build the depart-
ments of the new University upon those of
the old College. That he succeeded more
often than not in doing so, that so many
members of the College faculty succeeded in
some measure in meeting the responsibilities
of the larger enterprise, is an eloquent testi-
monial of the quality of the College upon
which the University was built. Mr. Duke
could supply money to expand the campus
and to provide buildings. The staff of the
University had to be recruited and de-
veloped from Trinity College and other in-
stitutions already in existence. That
President Few and his associates were not
wholly unsuccessful in this crucial phase
of their task may be seen in the fact that
before his death he saw Duke University ac-
cepted as a member of the Association of
American Universities, the only institution

south of the Potomac River not supported
by a state which is a member of that asso-
ciation.

To cite statistics showing the growth of
Trinity College and Duke University be^
tween 1910 and 1940 would be beside the
point. Naturally, the University is a larger
unit than the small College of which Dr.
Few became President in the earlier year.
More important is the fact that the Inden-
ture founding the University, like the in-
augural address of President Few, seeks to
commit the institution to quality rather
than size in all of its essential undertak-
ings.

It happens to a man seldom to compass
in a generation all that he plans. It was
the fortune of William P. Few to aspire
to administer well a small college and to
find himself suddenly charged with the lead-
ing part in founding a university. Only
time will fully test the mettle of his
achievement. Like Craven, Crowell, and
Kilgo, he helped to lay foundations for
other men to build upon. Thus far, on
the whole, the verdict must be that his
achievement was considerable, and his work
was good.

Rev. S. F. Nicks, '03, Dies
After 42 Years' Service

The Reverend Samuel F. Nicks, '03, of
Hillsboro, N. C, died on October 28 in
Watts Hospital, Durham.

Graduating from Trinity College in
1903, Mr. Nicks served the North Caro-
lina Methodist Conference for forty-two
years before he was retired from service
in November, 1945. He spent his entire
ministerial career in the vicinity of Dur-
ham, preaching in many of the rural
churches in Durham and neighboring
counties. During his time in the pulpit,
Mr. Nicks built many of the churches
in which he preached.

Active in all phases of church work,
Mr. Nicks was also State Councilor for
the Junior Order in 1931-32. Under his
leadership, that organization spread and
expanded so that subordinate groups
were established for the first time in
every county in the state.

All of Mr. Nicks' churches were in
the Durham District: Burlington Circuit;
Pellem, Milton, Yanceyville, Leesburg,
Hillsboro, Brooksdale, and Cedar Grove.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Emma Woods Nicks of Hillsboro; two
daughters, Mrs. Stella N. Sanfield of
Roxboro and Mrs. Katherine N. Mc-
Dade of Cedar Grove; two sons, John
R. Nicks of Swepsonville and Robert L.
Nicks of Hillsboro; one sister, Mrs. Lola
N. Teer of Swepsonville; one brother,
W. J. Nicks of Graham ; and eight grand-
children.

The Blue Devils of the gridiron com-
pleted their 1946 season on November 23
with the annual classic against North
Carolina in Chapel Hill.

On November 16 in Columbia, S. C,
a fighting band of Duke football players
chalked up their second straight con-
ference triumph by rolling over a com-
pletely outclassed South Carolina team,
39-0. *

The win spoiled a Homecoming Day
for the Gamecocks, handed them their
second and worst defeat of the campaign,
and knocked them frorn the top spot
in the Southern Conference race. It
was one of the finest performances the
Blue Devils have turned in all year and
every man on the squad was a star in
his own right. A far-superior Duke line
completely outplayed the Gamecock for-
wards and held the losers to a net rush-
ing total of minus 41 yards. Since South
Carolina gained only 38 yards in the air,
the total effort of the Carolina offense
for the day was in the red by three
vards.

George Clark ran at his best in the
backfield; Howard Hartley turned in a
fine passing performance until injured
late in the game; Leo Long and Buddy
Mulligan turned in fine work; and re-
serve Freddie Folger, who hadn't seen
action since the Army game, was brilliant
as he turned in a top-notch performance
on defense and followed a pass catch with
one of the greatest runs any Duke back
has made this year.

On November 9, a favored Wake
Forest team that had lost only one game
and had defeated Tennessee moved into
Duke stadium seeking its second victory
over the Blue Devils in the last 20 years.
Wake Forest failed. Duke's offense be-
gan to roll after having been silenced by
Army and Georgia Tech for two straight
weeks. The Duke line completely
bottled up Wake's running game, and
the pass defense appeared at its best.
Thus, the Demon Deacons were held
scoreless, and the Blue Devils pushed
across a touchdown in each half to win,
13-0.

The massed marching bands of Duke and Wake Forest and six North Carolina
high schools spell out "DUKE" in the center of a gigantic football pattern during
half-time at the Duke-Wake Forest football game in the Duke Stadium on Novem-
ber 9. Participating were high school organizations from Durham, Fayetteville,
Oxford, Greensboro, Sanford and Wilmington, in addition to the two college bands,
making a total of 550 performers, including sixty drum majors and majorettes,
executing the figure.

On November 15 the Duke and North
Carolina junior varsities met in a pre-
view to the Duke-Carolina varsity battle,
and the Blue Imps had the better of it
by 21-13 with the passing of George
Skipworth and the running of Fred
Hancock leading the way.

Coach Gerry Gerard's soccer team
dropped its first game of the year to un-
beaten Navy, 3-1, and followed with a
1-1 tie with Virginia a week later to
bring the season record to three wins,
a loss, and a tie.

Basketball practice has entered its
second month as the Blue Devil cagers
are busy preparing for the tough cam-
paign ahead which will feature two games
in Havana, Cuba, against the Univer-
sity of Havana and an appearance in
Madison Square Garden in New York
against N. Y. U.

Several stars of past years are return-
ing to give Coach Gerard a fine nucleus
around which to build a team. Ed Kof-
fenberger, All-Southern and Ail-Ameri-
can center last year, returns from the
1946 squad along with John "Bubber"
Seward, Dick Gordon, Doug Ausbon,
George Brunner, Irving Grey, and Jim
Corrington. Returning from pre-war
teams are Garland Loftis, Alex Miller,
and Sammy Rothbaum. At the present
it is indefinite as to whether Bob Gantt,
standout center in 1943, will report for
practice following the football season al-
though he is eligible for another year of
varsity play.

The basketball schedule for 1946-47 is
as follows :

Dec. 7 — Hanes Hosiery, Winston-Salem.
Dec. 12 — Hampden-Sydney, Durham.

Former Graduate School
Dean Glasson Succumbs

Dr. William H. Glasson, 72, the first
dean of the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences at Duke, died at his home, 710
Buchanan Blvd., Durham, on November
11, after a lengthy illness.

Funeral services for Dr. Glasson were
held in the Duke Chapel at 11 a.m. on
November 13. The pallbearers were Dr.
Calvin B. Hoover, Marvin L. Black, Jr.,
Dr. Robert S. Smith, Dr. Robert S.
Rankin, Dr. Robert R. Wilson, and Dr.
John J. Spengler.

Dr. Glasson was appointed to the post
of dean of the Graduate School in the
fall of 1926, a position he held until
his retirement in 1938 after thirty-six
years of service to the University. He
remained on the faculty as professor of
political economy and social science until
1940, and since that time has been pro-
fessor emeritus.

Dr. Glasson graduated from Cornell
University in 1S96, and received his Ph.D.
degree from Columbia University in
1900. He studied at the University of
Pennsylvania, Cornell University and
Columbia University in preparation for
his Doctor's degree.

Coming to Trinity College in 1902,
Dr. Glasson was associated with work
in the graduate department from 1916
until his retirement. He was active in
promoting cooperation and satisfactory
relations of the Duke Graduate School
with the graduate schools of other uni-
versities.

Active in local affairs, he was influ-
ential in the campaign to secure the city
manager plan for Durham in 1915 and
1920-21. Throughout his residence in
Durham, Dr. Glasson participated in
many public projects of the city and
state.

His miscellaneous writing's have been
extensive, contributions being made to
many magazines. His published works
included History of Military Pension
Legislation in the United States and
Federal Military Pensions in the United
States.

Dr. Glasson was survived by his wife,
the former Mary Deeler Park; three
daughters, Mrs. Lucy G. Wheeler of Ken-
tucky, Mrs. Mary G. Brinn of Hertford,
and Mrs. Marjorie G. Ross of Durham ;
and one son, Dr. John Glasson of New
York City.

Ham Radio Station Again in Operation
After five years of inactivity due to
the war, the Engineer's Radio Associa-
tion of Duke University and its 200 watt
transmitter has gone back into the ham
business. The Duke station, W4AHY,
before the war was in communication
with, nearly a hundred contemporary
short wave broadcasters located on every
continent. During the first week of the
reorganized radio activity, contacts were
made over a space of from a block and
a half to 3000 miles. Several of the
members have sent radio messages to
their families and friends all over the
nation.

Officers of the association are Roy
Dobbs, Atlanta, Ga., president; Joe
Neudecker, Memphis, Tenn., vice-presi-
dent ; Ed Carson, Danville, Va., secre-
tary-treasurer; Tom Hatley, faculty in-
structor; J. P. Edwards, counselor and
trustee; and Al Highsmith, publicity rep-
resentative.

Equipment includes a Collins trans-
mitter, 30 PXB-100 watt Phone and C.
W. transmitter. Present operations are
on the 80, 20, and 10 meter bands, using
both phone and C. W.

Seeley Addresses NCEA
On October 25, Professor W. J. Seeley
addressed the Western Division of the
NCEA in Winston-Salem, N. C. His
audience was made up of high school
mathematics teachers. Professor Seeley
spoke on the topic "A Functional Ap-
proach to Mathematics." He pointed out
the fact that engineering combined the
study of chemistry, physics, and mathe-
matics. He urged that the teachers
stress simple mathematic manipulations
such as hyperbolic functions in alge-
bra. The job of the high school, Pro-
fessor Seeley pointed out, is to teach
thoroughly simple and basic mathematics.

Kraybill Teaches Physical
Therapists

In cooperation with the Medical School,
the College of Engineering is providing

State Mourns Passing of
Captain Tom Daniels, '91

Duke University officials and alumni
joined thousands of other North Caro-
linians in mourning the death on Novem-
ber 4 at New Bern of Capt. Thomas C.
Daniels, '91, one of the greatest athletes
in the history of the institution and one
of Duke's first football coaches.

Playing in the flying wedge and handle-
bar moustache days, Captain Daniels
served as coach and game-captain of
Trinity's greatest team of the early days
— the 1891 eleven which won the "South-
ern Championship."

He was a member of a backfield com-
posed of the three Durham brothers,
Plato, Stonewall, and Robert Lee, and
that season he became one of the first
southern football players to be recognized
by the great Walter Camp. That year
he was called "the greatest halfback in
the nation."

Trinity played three games — not by
choice but because few southern teams
were playing then. They opened with a
96-0 victory over Furman University in
a game in which every man on the team
scored at least one touchdown — the cen-
ter finally being called back to run with
the ball and he, too, tallied. The score
of that game in present day counting
might well have reached 150 points as
touchdowns counted only four points and
extra points two.

The Trinity outfit topped North Caro-
lina in its second game by the close
score of 6-4 and then defeated Virginia
at Richmond 20-0 to round out its un-
defeated season.

Captain Daniels, in addition to being
an elusive runner, was one of the fastest
track men in the nation. He had been
timed at 9.8 seconds in the 100 and, ac-
cording to yarn-spinners from that day,
he often engaged in a 100-yard dash
against any opponent picked as a "warm-
up" before a football game.

One story has it that he ran not only
one but two 100-yard dash races before
the North Carolina game in 1891 and
then starred in that 6-4 victory.

Captain Daniels' feats on the track
team were not confined to the 100-yard
dash. He was a 48-second 440 yard
runner, a 23-foot-3-inch broad jumper
and a 11-foot 11-inch pole vaulter. It is
pointed out that these times and distances
would win first place in many track meets
of the present time.

In baseball, he was also great, playing
center field, pitcher, or catcher.

He continued to hold a great respect
for football as played in the early days.
He once was quoted as saying "I feel
certain that we could have beaten the
youngsters of today at their own open
game. If the bone-crushing tactics of
the late 'SO's and early '90's were re-
sorted to, Trinity's superiority would be
even more in evidence."

Captain Daniels was a familiar figure
on the Duke campus, especially during
the football season, until illness stopped
him this season.

He served 25 years in the Naval Mili-
tia with rank of captain, and retired in
1915 with the rank of commodore. In
1916, he joined the Army as captain.
During World War I he won the Croix
de Guerre and was wounded at Frappel,
losing an eye and suffering other wounds.

Daniels was state president of the
Benevolent Order of the Elks for two
terms, and was a former commander of
the American Legion. He was 78 years
old when he died. He is survived by his
wife, two sisters and one brother.

Homecoming

Japanese occupation, returned to the
scene of his undergraduate activities as
former head cheerleader.

Many former great names on the Duke
football roster were present during the
day, including former Blue Devil cap-
tains L. James Smith, '43, Hamilton,
Ohio; Allen Johnson, '40, Salisbury, and
James R. Simpson, '24, Charlotte. Other
ex-grid stars included Ben H. Black,
'95, Durham; Major C. W. "Soup"
Porter, '26, Fort Bragg; Fred Shipp, '26,

New Bern; Willard "Easy" Eaves, '40,
Ashland, Ky. ; R. O. Haas, '39, New York
City; Wes McAfee, '41, Goldsboro;
Henry Kistler, '30, Charlotte; Earl J.
Wentz, '36, Winston-Salem; Ernie
Beamer, '44, Burlington ; H. J. "Doggy"
Hatcher, '23, Raleigh; Andy Muellenaer,
'40, New York City; Al F. Keller, '35,
Baltimore, Md. ; Frank Sizemore. '36,
High Point ; Ralph Morgan, '43, Dur-
ham; Lowell Mason, '33, Charlotte;
Aubrey Gill, '42, Petersburg, Va. ; Jap
Davis," '40, Wilmington ; Tom Davis, '44,
Wilmington ; Gordon Burns, '40, Ra-
leigh; Jack Hardy, '41, Greensboro; Jim
Marion, '41, Hilton Village, Va.; Har-
wood "Silver" Smith, '39, Durham; and
Fred Grigg, '28, Gastonia. John Ham-
rick, '34, Gaffney, S. C, one-time man-
ager of the football team, joined the re-
union of these former grid personalities.

Prior to kick-off time at the football
game there was a program of pre-game
music for the enjoyment of all early ar-
rivals in the stadium. Reviving an old
Southern Homecoming custom, Mary
Anne Duncan, Buffa Garrett, and Betsy
John Hurley were introduced as sponsors
for the game shortly before the kick-off.
With their escorts, Ken Younger, Grover
Dillon, and Al Earnest, the sponsors
walked from the players' entrance to the
stadium to box seats.

A special carillon recital, which in-
cluded the playing of "Auld Lang Syne"
on the University Chapel carillon, was
presented for the benefit of the crowds
remaining on campus following the foot-
ball game. Out-of-town alumni were
guests of Quadrangle Pictures at Page
Auditorium in the evening, while the
Varsity D Club held open house for all •
returning alumni who were athletes when
in school. Included in the post-game ac-
tivities were open houses in the chapter
rooms of each fraternity on campus, a
pre-war custom just revived this fall with
the return of the fraternities to their dor-
mitory sections.

Continuing the Homecoming activities
on Sunday, Professor James T. Cleland,
preacher to the University, delivered the
sermon at the regular Sunday Service of
Worship in the University Chapel. Mil-
dred L. Hendrix, University organist,
presented an organ recital in the Chapel
on Sunday afternoon.

The returning alumni were headed by
B. Everett Jordan, '18, Saxapahaw,
president of the Alumni Association, and
Estelle Warlick Hillman (Mrs. E. L.),
'20, Rocky Mount, president of the
Alumnae Association. Also visiting cam-
pus was W. B. Kiker, '09, Reidsville,
chairman of the Alumni Council.

Duke Law Graduate Wins
Congressional Election

Richard M. Nixon, LL.B. '37, was
elected to Congress on the Republican
ticket from the twelfth district of Cali-
fornia in the recently held National elec-
tions.

Nixon was elected after campaigning
on a platform : "Tomorrow's Problems
Cannot Be Solved with the Governmental
Procedures and Practices of Yesterday."
He maintains that this country must
adopt a sound progressive program in
which government will work with and
through private enterprise toward our
goal of assuring housing, clothing, edu-
cation, food and opportunity for every
American.

Taking his undergraduate work at
Whittier College in California, Nixon
came here in 1934 to attend Law School.
While at Duke he was president of the
Bar Association and a member of the
Order of the Coif. He was president of
the Los Angeles Alumni Association in
1939-40.

Serving for three and a half years in
the Navy, he was cited for his service on
the Bougainville beachhead during the
Solomons Islands campaign. Following
his discharge, he rendered special aid to
the nation by representing the Navy in
negotiations involving three hundred mil-
lion dollars' worth of war contracts for
which he received a Navy citation.

Nixon is married and has one child, a
daughter.

For months I have been carrying around with me a letter from the
Alumni Office with the daily intention of answering it and sending a
contribution. As so many of us do, however, I kept putting it off until
some turn of circumstance made me realize just how much my Alma
Mater meant to me. This time the circumstance was the rebroadcast
of the Duke-Navy football game to the Pacific Island Area. As I lis-
tened to that game a flood of memories filled my mind : Homecoming
games; that never to be forgotten game when Ace Parker made his
one-hundred and five yard run against North Carolina, and dozens of
other memories of class and campus that have helped make life in the
tropics more bearable.

At present I am at Guam where I have been attending school at the
Naval Institute of Tropical Medicine. The purpose of this school was
to train doctors for Military Government duty in the former Japanese
Mandated Islands. Before coming out here, we had an intensive course
in background subjects for Military Government at Stanford Univer-
sity. It was interesting to me to note that three of the fifteen doctors
finally to complete the course were Duke Medical School graduates.
We have been told on numerous occasions that we are a highly selected
group and if that is true, three doctors from one school is a remarkably
high percentage and something to be proud of. The two other doctors
beside myself are Dr. William M. Wilhoit, class of '44, and Dr. Al
Cross, class of '38. Enclosed is a picture of the three of us in front of
the sentry's box at the Naval Institute of Tropical Medicine, Guam.
Willie Wilhoit has already left for the island of Peleliu and Al Cross
has gone to American Samoa. I leave for Ponape in a few days. Our
duties en these islands will be to provide medical care for the native
population. They have been greatly neglected during the war years,
and are now in desperate need of medical care. From all reports, they
are a friendly and appreciative people, and I am looking forward to the
challenge that will present itself in these areas. The work will prob-
ably be done under considerable difficulty, as the natives do not speak
English and there are not enough interpreters to fill even the basic
needs of Military Government in these islands.

Besides caring for the natives on Ponape, there will be six or eight
other islands in that area that I will be responsible for. Each of these
has its own dialect which adels to the multitude of other problems.

Again let me say I am proud to be a Duke graduate.

Dear Alumni,

The Alumni Office Staff desires to express, in its own
behalf and on behalf of the officers of the General Alumni Asso-
ciation and the University, their sincere wish that for the alumni
and alumnae of the institution everywhere the 1946 Christmas sea-
son may be the happiest and best they have ever experienced.

We should like to express our most cordial appreciation
for the cooperation extended the staff of the Alumni Office during
the year by officers of the various associations, class groups,
amd individual alumni, scattered as they are throughout North Caro-
lina, all the forty-eight states of the Union and in many foreign
countries. The more than 26,000 men and women deeply interested in
the past history, the present achievements, and the future possi-
bilities of their alma mater have made possible one of the most
successful years in alumni work in the entire history of the insti-
tution. We are looking forward to their constant and enthusiastic
support during the coming year, 1947, and the other years ahead.

Again may we wish for the sons and daughters of Duke
everywhere a most joyous Christmas season and a new year that will
bring to each more happiness than any that have gone before.

Dallas, Texas, and Rochester, N. Y., Are Farthest Meetings —
Inactive Groups Reorganizing — New Associations Organized —
Year-Round Programs Planned by Many — University Speakers
Visit Many Associations — Durham Alumni Honor Team.

Local Duke University Alumni Associa-
tions are rapidly bringing to a close the
most successful fall series of meetings to
be held since before the war. In addi-
tion to the meetings in North Carolina,
a number of meetings were held in other
states, the farthest being in Dallas, Texas,
and Rochester, N. Y. Most of the meet-
ings followed the pattern of informal
family discussions in which the speakers
and the alumni present talked of the
various ways and means by which the
local groups could better serve the alumni
and the University.

A number of groups which have been
inactive for several years reorganized and
three new associations were begun. Many
of the groups will have complete year-
round programs of activities during the
next twelve months, and one association
is planning to have a weekly luncheon
meeting. Several others are expected to
follow this lead.

Accounts of the groups which have had
meetings since the publication of the last
Register are carried below. Organiza-
tions which have not had their meetings
but which have set definite dates are also
listed. Accounts of these meetings will be
carried in a later issue of the Register.

County Duke University Alumni Associa-
tion, presided at the annual meeting
which was held in the Rotary Building
in Greenville, N. C, on Thursday, Novem-
ber 14, at 7 :00 p.m. Approximately fifty
alumni and friends attended the dinner
at which C. A. Dukes spoke briefly and
Heber Smith, from the Alumni Office,
showed a football film.

An election of officers was held and
plans were made for a more complete
program of activities for the coming
year. The following officers were elected :
President, E. Hoover Taft, Jr., '34; Vice-
President, Mrs. Anne Ratledge Young,

'25; Secretary, David T. House, Jr., '25;
and Alumnae Representative, Mrs. Doris
Garris May, '34.

Atlanta, Ga.

Dr. Pierce Harris, pastor of the First
Methodist Church of Atlanta, was the
speaker at the annual dinner meeting of
the Duke Alumni Association of Atlanta,
Ga., held on November 14 at the First
Methodist Church. Henry Johnson, B.D.
'33, president of the association, presided
and approximately seventy-five alumni
and friends were present.

group. This program includes several
meetings during the year and a weekly
luncheon meeting, the place and hour of
which have not been •announced. The
next meeting of the association will be
held some time the latter part of Jan-
uary.

A committee was appointed to complete
the scholarship fund which was begun in

New Hanover, Onslow, Pender
Counties

Lt. Henry C. Bost, '29, district repre-
sentative of the U. S. Naval Reserve, was
elected president of the Duke Alumni

Lyn Watlington, '45, Alumnae Represent-
ative ; and Mrs. Virginia Merritt Carr, '23,

othy Forbes, '35, in the president's post.

Highlight of the meeting was an ad-
dress by Dean H. J. Herring, '22, Vice-
President of the University and Dean of
Trinity College, in which he told of
the need for the expansion of the Univer-
sity's research facilities in nuclear phys-
ics as one phase of the University's re-
sponsibility in "the most dangerous world
we've ever lived in."

"We've got to be a scientific center if
we're going to do our duty; and to do
our duty, we've got to increase our re-
sources," Dean Herring said. He called
upon the graduates of the University to
keep "constant emphasis" on the fact that,
despite its originally large endowment,
Duke "does not have enough to do the
things it ought to do."

Miss Anne Garrard, '25, assistant di-
rector of alumni affairs, speaking as a
representative of the Woman's College,
brought greetings to the group.

Miss Forbes presided at the meeting
and introduced the officers and other
guests. Dean Herring was introduced by
Rev. Edgar B. Fisher, '24, rector of the
Trinity Methodist Church, vice-president
of the association and a classmate of
Dean Herring.

Robert A. Sherrill, '25, out-going presi-
dent of the Caldwell County Association,
writes that although the attendance at the

as desired the meeting was one of the
most enthusiastic that has ever been held
by the local association.

been received from girls wishing to enter
the Woman's College next fall.

Elizabeth Stutts, Erwin, president of
the senior class, explained the workings
of the Woman's Athletic Association, stu-
dent publications, dramatic organizations,
and the Y.W.C.A.

George Clark, president of the Men's
Glee Club and a member of the Duke
football team, spoke of the activities of
the Glee Club this year. He said that
110 men joined the chorus at the begin-
ning of the season, from which sixty will
be chosen to perform the home concert in
February. Thirty of these singers will
make a concert tour to New York during
the spring holidays, he said.

W. W. (Bud) Wilson, Scarsdale, N. Y.,
president of the Freshman Advisory
Council, explained the work that is being

dent activity building which would be
equipped with indoor recreational facil-
ities.

B. S. Womble, '04, trustee of the Uni-
versity, spoke briefly concerning the in-
stitution's need for money. He said it is
generally thought that Duke has all the
money it needs, but pointed out that
while operational costs have gone up dur-
ing recent years, Duke's endowment has
decreased. Where the University once
received four to six percent on its invest-
ments, he said, it is now receiving two
and three percent. He also pointed to
the fact that the University needs several
buildings, including academic and recrea-
tional buildings and dormitories.

Charles A. Dukes, '29, Director of
Alumni Affairs, reiterated Womble's
statement and said that in the future
Duke will depend more and more on its
alumni for monetary needs. He said
Duke now has 26,000 alumni, half of
whom have left the campus since 1940.

Following the business meeting the
group met in the lower auditorium of the
church where a movie was shown of the
Duke- Wake Forest football game.

ing of the Indenture by the late James
B. Duke that made possible the Duke
University of today.

Beginning with an address by Dr. W.
T. Laprade, head of the Department of
History, on Monday night, December 9,
at 7 :00 o'clock, before the regular assem-
bly of the Woman's College, the cere-
monies were the first conducted on the
campus since the wartime interruption
resulting from the accelerated program.
Prior to the war, the traditional exercises
had been held annually since December
11, 1924.

The traditional Senior Class tree-plant-
ing ceremony continued this commemora-
tion of the founding of the University.
Presidents of the Senior Classes of Trin-

Two recently discharged Air Force
pilots, Boyd L." Ticktin, '44, and Jack W.
Hunter, '43, both residents of Durham,
have established the world's first air am-
bulance service.

The veterans' newly organized service
known as the Air Ambulance, Inc., which
began operations on September 21, pro-
vides ambulance service by air from the
Kaleigh-Durkani Airport to points in the
eastern part of the United States from
Massachusetts to Florida and as far west
as Chicago and St. Louis.

Future plans call for extension of the
ambulance service to points in Canada
and eventually to all points in the nation.

Planes now being used by the new com-
pany are Cessna UC-78 transport planes
purchased through the War Surplus
Property Administration. The ships were
converted into ambulances in strict ac-
cordance with Civil Aeronautics Admin-
istration regulations. Painted white, they
bear the regulation hospital markings for
ready identification and are equipped with
the latest in aviation instruments includ-
ing instruments for "blind living."

Each of the planes used has regulation
ambulance equipment, and patients car-
ried are accompanied by a registered
nurse as a part of the service rendered.
The flying ambulance pilots hold com-
mercial licenses issued by the CAA and
are especially trained for the service.

The new service was officially inspected
by Governor R. Gregg Cherry, '12, Mayor
W. F. Carr of Durham, and Mayor Gra-
ham Andrews of Raleigh and a group
of prominent citizens of the medical and
aviation professions, following a luncheon
at the Washington Duke Hotel at 12:30
p.m. on September 21.

Both of the founders of the new com-
pany were Air Force pilots during the
war. Ticktin was a first lieutenant pilot
of a P-51 Mustang fighter in England.
He served also as an instructor in AT-6
advanced single-engine trainers for eight-
een months. Ticktin entered the Air
Force in January, 1942, and was dis-
charged three vears later in January,
1945^

U. B. Blalock, '96, Writes
Of "One Duke Touchdown"

U. B. Blalock, '96, Wadesboro, recently
sent the Alumni Office an interesting ac-
count of "One Duke Touchdown" which
was scored by the Trinity College team
of 1892. As shown by his account,
though football tactics and methods may
have changed over the years, the same
thrill and excitement has always marked
the game.

This particular touchdown was made
in the fall of 1892 in Atlanta by Trinity
College against the University of Vir-
ginia. As Mr. Blalock tells the story,
"Some kind of an exposition was on in
Atlanta; they pulled a football game for
each day of the week. We played two of
the games, one against Alabama, which
we won, and one against the University of
Virginia, which we lost by a heavy score,
but we made one touchdown. As I re-
call, Trinity had won the 'Championship
of the South' in 1891, but on our 1892
team we had lost the Durhams and the
famous Plyler twins and other 'mighty
players'; but we still had the swift
'doughty' Tom C. Daniels as our Cap-
tain.

"As a freshman, I was playing right
end on the '92 team. When Ave lined up
against Virginia on Brisbane Field, all
the sports, and there appeared to be hun-
dreds of them, were placing their money
on Virginia that we would not score. On
the toss, Trinity got the ball. It was
back in the days of the famous 'flying
wedge.' Captain Tom formed his 'flying
wedge.' He did me the honor of saying,
'Give Blalock the ball,' and we made
some progress, but nothing to brag about.

"As the game progressed and Vir-
ginia was winning, we managed to work
down in Virginia territory. It was our
ball, Captain Tom called my signals. I
do not recall the number of yards gained,
but I went out of bounds on the five-yard
line. The ball was brought in amid
much cheering, especially by those who
had placed their money on Trinity's scor-
ing at least one touchdown. We lined up
on the five-yard line. Captain Tom knew

one of his strongest plays was to send
his left halfback (the late Bill Flowers)
around behind his right tackle (the late
Dr. J. 'Pink' Turner of Greensboro) and
his right end. As we lined up for the
'plunge,' 'Pink' laid his hand on my
shoulder and said, 'Look out, Blalock,
you know what is coming, you take my
tackle and I will take your end.' We
opened a lane and Bill Flowers scored
our only touchdown. The money changed
hands."

Graduate Scholarships

nation was made a prerequisite for en-
trance in the Graduate School of Arts
and Sciences. This examination is ad-
ministered nation-wide to all graduate
students at established examination cen-
ters that are branches of the central
Graduate Record Office in New York.

Appointments are made in April of
each year of all fellows, scholarship
recipients, and assistants. All applica-
tions for such positions must be received
by the University by March 1.

A.I.E.E. National President Speaks
at Duke

Mr. J. Elmer Housley, national presi-
dent of the American Institute of Elec-
trical Engineers, wa% a featured speaker
at the annual fall meeting of the North
Carolina Section of the Institute held on
November 26 on the Duke campus. At-
tended by over 150 practicing engineers
from all parts of the state and by large
groups of electrical engineering students
from North Carolina State College and
from the Duke University College of
Engineering, the meeting consisted of an
afternoon technical session, a banquet,
and an evening session.

During the afternoon session, which
was presided over by section chairman
George F. Stratton, of the Armature
Winding Company, Charlotte, three pa-
pers were presented. The first, entitled
"Industry and the Institute," was pre-
sented by President Housley. Dealing
in part with Institute affairs and in
part with recent industrial developments,
this talk sketched the present status and
future plans of the Institute and showed
some of the recent trends in the technical
phase of engineering activities. The sec-
ond talk bore the title "One Hundred
Proof Power Factor," and was presented
by Roderick M. Love, Jr., senior in elec-
trical engineering at Duke University.
In this talk, Love, who is the son of an
electrical engineering graduate of Duke,
described a "home made" electric power
system which he built for his camp while
on duty overseas as a lieutenant in the
Army Air Corps. The third talk of the
afternoon, "Communications for Electric
Utilities," was presented by Mr. Blair
Jenkins, communications engineer, Caro-
lina Power and Light Company, Raleigh.
Following the afternoon session, informal
visits to the new College of Engineering
physical plant now under construction on
the West Campus were made.

The banquet in the evening was fol-
lowed by an unusually well received talk
presented by Mr. Lee H. Hill, former
vice-president in the personnel division of
the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Com-

pany and current publisher of Electrical
World and of Electrical Contracting for
the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company.
Professor W. J. Seeley, a boyhood friend
of the speaker, introduced the speaker,
whose topic was "The Engineer as a
Manager."

DUKE ALUMNI REGISTER, December, 1946

[ Page 315 ]

Duke Alumnus Publishes
Book on Atomic Energy

John W. Campbell, Jr., '35, is the
author of a book, The Atomic Story,
which is being published by Henry Holt
and Company and will appear in Jan-
uary, 1947.

Educated at Duke University and
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Campbell graduated from college during
the depression and put his scientific
knowledge to work writing for various
publications.

In 1937 he became editor of the Street
and Smith publication, "Astounding-
Stories." During the war he retained this
position and, in addition, worked for the
National Defense Research Council edit-
ing maintenance manuals produced by
that organization for the Armed Forces.

During the war he added the post of
science editor of all Street and Smith
publications to his other duties. He has
appeared on a number of programs and
has written many articles in the past year
on the scientific aspects of the atomic
bomb. In midsummer of this year, Camp-
bell was designated also to take over the
managing editorship of "Air Trails Pic-
torial," another Street and Smith mag-

dent; J. L. Atkins, Jr., '35, Secretary;
and Stough Gantt, '33, Treasurer.

The organization paid tribute to the
Duke football team and coaches, while the
five players who will not be back next
year, Captain Bill Milner, Kelley Mote,
Herman Smith, Bob Gantt, and Leo
Long, were presented handsome wrist
watches.

Coach Wallace Wade, speaking briefly
at the meeting, called the 1946 Duke
eleven, which lost five games, "one of the
finest I ever coached." He said he was as
proud of the team as any he ever coached
because of its loyalty, unselfishness,
courage, spirit and sportsmanship. Coach
Wade said he had no apologies or excuses
to make for the team's record, but he
added that one of the main reasons for
its losses was due to the fact that it didn't
have two or three boys who had the knack
of throwing and catching the ball with
any degree of consistency.

Aubrey Wiggins, '21, presented the
Blue Devil mentor a gift on behalf of the
alumni of Durham, while Dean W. H.
Wannamaker, Vice-President of the Uni-
versity and chairman of the Athletic

Council, praised the Blue Devils for their
sportsmanship and the coaches for their
efforts the past season in keeping Duke
football at a high level in a great era.

The alumni body passed a resolution to
send letters of congratulations and best
wishes to the University of North Caro-
lina and North Carolina State, who will
appear in bowl games on New Year's
Day.

Norfolk, Va.

On December 5, at 7 :00 p.m., the Nor-
folk, Va., Duke University Alumni Asso-
ciation met at the Pine Tree Inn for their
annual dinner meeting. Dr. Alan K.
Manchester, Dean of Freshmen, wTas the
speaker from the University. After Dr.
Manchester's speech, a football film was
shown.

The following officers were elected for
the coming year: President, Elmer Tar-
rall, '35 ; Secretary-Treasurer, Lewis E.
Keller, '46 ; and Alumnae Representative,
Helen Rocke, '38.

G. W. Harley, 16, Honored
By Liberian Government

Dr. George W. Harley, '16, who was in
government service as consultant with
the Foreign Economic Administration in
Liberia when the war ended, has been
decorated by the president of Liberia in
recognition of his services in drawing up
a -five-year medical plan for that coun-
try. As part of that program, he has
recently opened a school for sub-profes-
sional medical practitioners at Ganta
(Methodist) Mission, which may grow
into the first medical school of Liberia.

Ganta Mission Dispensary has been
entirely self-supporting for twenty years,
and during that time has sold over 50,000
"health insurance" tickets which entitle

the holders to all needed medical atten-
tion for less than fifty cents a year per
patient. A new hospital is under con-
struction at the present time.

Duke's basketball season got into full
swing this month with six games on the
pre-Christmas schedule. The Blue Dev-
ils had won both of their games through
December 10 by downing High Point Col-
lege, 44-29, and turning in a thrilling win
over the Hanes Hosiery of Winston-
Salem, 44-43.

An interesting feature of the Hanes-
Duke game was that the Loftis brothers,
who once starred for the Devils, were
playing against each other. Cedric was
a standout player for the Hanes team
which he joined this year, and brother
Garland played good ball for Duke.

Sparkplugs of the two first-week vic-
tories were newly elected co-captains, Ed
Koffenberger and John (Bubber) Seward.
Koffenberger was high scorer against
High Point with 14 markers, while Sew-
ard set the pace against Hanes with 15
points.

Running in the first team combination
were Koffenberger, Wilmington, Del. ;
Seward, Newport News, Va. (both for-
wards) ; Ben Collins, Hazard, Ky., cen-
ter ; and Dick Gordon, Jacksonville, Fla. ;
and Doug Ausbon, Durham (both guards).
Behind Seward and Koffenberger at for-
wards are Corren P. Youmans, Carl Sapp,
Sammy Rothbaum, and Alex Miller.
Other centers are Wesley Skibstead and
Tom Wallingf ord ; reserve guards are
Garland Loftis, Bob Metzler, Bill Mar-
tin, and Irving Gray.

With only the bowl games left for the
current football season, the gridiron talk
around Duke this month has been about
the Blue Devils selected to the various
mythical honor teams. In spite of one
of the less impressive win-loss records in
the conference, Duke placed more players
(three) on the All- Southern team than
did any other school. Captain Bill Mil-
ner won a guard position; Al DeRogatis
was a choice at tackle; and Kelley Mote
was given an end position for the second
straight year. All three men were se-
lected by both the United Press and the
Associated Press.

George Clark and Leo Long won back-
field berths on the second team along with
end Herman Smith. Guard Ernie Knotts
and halfback Buddy Mulligan were named
to the third team, thus giving Duke eight
starters on either the first, second, or
third team All-Southern.

The International News Service named
Mote and DeRogatis to the All-Dixie
team giving Duke two men along with
Georgia Tech and Georgia. Wake Forest
named four Blue Devils (Mote, Milner,
DeRogatis, and Knotts) to its All-Oppo-
nent team.

Milner was named to the second team
All-America by Look Magazine.

The soccer team closed a successful
season with a 5-1 win over North Caro-
lina to bring its record for the year to
five wins, a loss, and a tie.

The jayvee football squad swamped
Virginia Tech 34-0 to end its season with
three straight victories after losing the
opener.

Intramural sports came in for much
attention on the campus during the fall.
Over twenty teams participated in the
four touch football leagues with the
Kappa Alpha fraternity winning the
championship in the finals against fresh-
man House "M." It was the first time

in many years that a freshman team had
reached the intramural finals. The score
of the game was 9-2.

A large number of students also took
part in the intramural tennis tournament
which enters the final round this month.
The intramural department, under the
direction of K. C. (Gerry) Gerard, spon-
sored handball tournaments and a cross
country meet.

A record number of teams have en-
tered the basketball leagues in which play
began this month. There are seven eight-
team divisions with games scheduled for
both afternoon and night. Some fraterni-
ties have as many as four teams entered
in the intramural basketball race.

George Philemon Clark, Duke's ace
tailback for the past three seasons, was
the winner of the "Most Valuable Player"
award presented by Noble Arnold, Dur-
ham theatre manager. The award was
last presented in 1942 and was won by
guard Tom Burns, who later died in Duke
hospital. Clark will be given the hand-
some Noble Arnold trophy during half-
time at a basketball game to be selected
later. He was chosen the most valuable
player through a popular vote of Duke
students and football fans of Durham
and the Durham area.

Wade Jktutoed

Coach Wallace Wade (left) was presented with a scroll signed by more than 100
alumni and friends, commending the football mentor and his 1946 team for their fine
showing in the face of a tough schedule this season. E. C. Brooks, Jr., '23, Durham
attorney, presented the award to Wade at his home on November 22.

Student MUtUtelA ^l^ain
^Ubawcfh Summe/i Ptoxyuain

During this past summer sixty students
of the Duke University Divinity School
participated in the annual ten-week sum-
mer training program for ministerial stu-
dents.

The present program is backed by
three sources : sixty of the work scholar-
ships are provided by the Duke Endow-
ment, with the students participating
under this program receiving their sum-
mer training in rural North Carolina
churches. Fifteen other scholarships are
provided by the South Eastern Jurisdic-
tion of the Methodist Church. Students
holding these scholarships are required
to serve their summer terms in a church
in one of the seventeen conferences under
the South Eastern Jurisdiction. This
area covers North Carolina, South Caro-
lina, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and
Alabama. The third group of scholar-
ships is provided by a number of small
funds set up by individuals and churches
of several denominations other than
Methodist. The students working under
this program serve in churches other than
Methodist.

The general working features of all
three plans are the same. Professor J.
M. Ormond, of the Duke Divinity School,
is in over-all charge of all three. The
plans function through weekly reports by
the student ministers and by the minis-
ters under whom they are working.
Through these reports, data are accumu-
lated and progress is revealed.

"The purposes of this work scholar-
ship plan are (1) that service may be
rendered to churches and (2) that the
students may have the essential practical
training to equip them for ministerial
careers," said Professor Ormond. Last
summer the students conducted seventy-
five training schools to help young people
and adults to increase their church effi-
ciency. One thousand, six hundred and
thirty-seven persons participated in these
schools. At the same time, the students
conducted 172 vacation schools, enrolling
8,873 children and using 1,050 instruc-
tors. More than 180 persons were re-
ceived into the church on profession of
faith through the efforts of these men.
Over the twenty years that the summer
training plan has been functioning, the
student ministers have been influential in
bringing more than 9,000 persons into
the church.

The work scholarship plan originated
at the Duke Divinity School twenty years
ago. The program was planned and
started by the late President William P.
Few, together with Dr. Robert L. Flow-
ers and Professor Ormond. Dr. Ormond
has served as director of the plan since
its inception. A new feature in the field
of theological education, the summer
training program has been adopted by
many of the seminaries throughout the
nation.

Lee B. Durham, '21, Takes
Michigan Education Post

Lee B. Durham, '21, assistant director
of adult education for the Detroit, Mich.,
public schools, took office on July 1 as
president of the Michigan Education
Association, following sixteen years ex-
perience in Michigan as a Detroit class-
room teacher, administrator, and profes-
sional leader.

Prior to going to Michigan, he was a
teacher and school administrator in North
Carolina. Following his graduation from
Duke University, where he majored in
history and education, he taught in his
home high school at Siler City. Among
his pupils on his first day of teaching
were not only younger brothers and sis-
ters of his high school classmates, but also
his own younger brother. The following
year he accepted the principalship at
Hoffman High School. The next year
Mr. Durham became superintendent of
the Vance County Farm Life School at
Middleburg, where he remained for seven
years.

Beckoned by two of his brothers, Lee
Durham went to Detroit in the summer of
1930. Here one of his brothers was on
the staff of the newly organized Ford
Hospital, and another brother was asso-
ciated with the automobile industry. All
three brothers have remained with their
original Michigan employers. Robert H.,
'18, is head of internal medicine at the
Ford Hospital; "William S. is in charge
of truck distribution for the Dodge divi-
sion of Chrysler Corporation.

Lee Durham has been assistant director
of adult education for Detroit public
schools since August, 1945. For the pre-
vious fifteen years he had been a teacher
in Detroit high schools, mostly at Red-

ford High School where for eight years
he was head of the social science depart-
ment.

His transition to the field of adult
education was not an abrupt one. He
had taught business English in night
school classes for several years, and had
been principal of the evening school at
Redford High School. The Detroit adult
education program reaches 25,000 per-
sons enrolled in formal courses, and ex-
tends its influence to a much greater
number through sponsorship of forums,
hobby classes, conferences, social prob-
lems clinics, debates, panels, field trips,
safety projects, book reviews, and many
similar activities. Durham is also in-
structional supervisor of summer schools.

He was secretary-treasurer of the D.
T. A. in 1935-36, followed by two years
as president of the High School and Col-
lege Division of the D. T. A. and then
three more years as D. T. A. treasurer.
He has been a member of the board of
directors of the Metropolitan Social
Studies Club and at present is a director
of the Detroit Council on Adult Educa-
tion and a program committee member
of the World Study Council.

Mr. Durham was elected to the M. E.
A. publications commission in 1939 and
continued on that board until 1943. On
June 19, 1943, he was appointed to the
M. E. A. Board of Directors to fill a
vacancy, and continued as a member of
the board until the time of bis election
to the presidency.

For the past five years the Durham
family has resided at 32410 Westchester
Road, Birmingham, R. 5. Betsy, his
daughter, returned to the University of
Michigan this fall where she is a junior;
and his son, Lee B. Durham, Jr., is a
junior at Baldwin High School.

Duranty Lecture Opens
Student Forum Series

Walter Duranty, author and expert on
Russian affairs, lectured on the topic
"Russia and the Far East" in the Wom-
an's College Auditorium on December 12.

The Student Forum of the Woman's
College presented Duranty as the first
speaker in the winter series sponsored by
that organization.

In line with the current campus inter-
est in political and economic affairs, the
Forum will have as its second guest
speaker, Marquis Childs, feature writer
for United Features Syndicate and author
of "I Write from Washington," "This Is
Democracy" and other political and eco-
nomic works. The date for Child's ap-
pearance has not been announced.

0 Magical penicillin... the
amazing "sulfas". . . and now
the new streptomycin . . .
Thank the men of research
medicine for those. . . and for
all the other valuable aids
they have placed in the
doctor's "little black bag."
Like all doctors, they are
tirelessly devoting their
lives to the cause of human
health and happiness.

According to a recent Nationwide survey:

More Doctors smoke Camels

THAN ANY OTHER CIGARETTE

• What cigarette do you smoke, Doc-
tor? . . . that was the question put to
113,597 doctors from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Canadian border. Three inde-
pendent research organizations did
the asking... covered doctors in every
branch of medicine.

The brand named most was Camel!

Like the rest of us, doctors smoke
forpleasure.Theirtaste appreciates the
flavor and cool mildness of Camel's
costlier tobaccos just as yours does.

YOUR "T-ZONE" WILL TELL YOU . .
